Diagnosis and treatment of vascular disease

ABSTRACT

The present invention is based at least in part on the discovery of polymorphisms within the thrombospondin 2 (THBS2) gene, the angiotensin converting enzyme 1 (ACE), and the beta fibrinogen (FGB) gene. Accordingly, the invention provides nucleic acid molecules having a nucleotide sequence of an allelic variant of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene. The invention also provides methods for identifying specific alleles of polymorphic regions of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene, methods for determining whether a subject is or is not at risk of developing a disease which is associated with a specific allele of a polymorphic region of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene, e.g., a vascular disease, based on detection of polymorphisms within the THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene, and kits for performing such methods. The invention further provides methods for classifying a subject who is or is not at risk for developing, a vascular disease or disorder as a candidate for a particular clinical course of therapy or a particular diagnostic evaluation.

Background of the Invention

[0001] Cardiovascular disease is a major health risk throughout the industrialized world. Coronary artery disease (CAD), or atherosclerosis, involves the progressional narrowing of the arteries due to a build-up of atherosclerotic plaque. Myocardial infarction (MI), e.g., heart attack, results when the heart is damaged due to reduced blood flow to the heart caused by the build-up of plaque in the coronary arteries.

[0002] Coronary artery disease, the most prevalent of cardiovascular diseases, is the principal cause of heart attack, stroke, and gangrene of the extremities, and thereby the principle cause of death in the United States. Coronary artery disease, or atherosclerosis, is a complex disease involving many cell types and molecular factors (described in, for example, Ross, 1993, Nature 362: 801-809). The process, in normal circumstances a protective response to insults to the endothelium and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) of the wall of the artery, consists of the formation of fibrofatty and fibrous lesions or plaques, preceded and accompanied by inflammation. The advanced lesions of atherosclerosis may occlude the artery concerned, and result from an excessive inflammatory-fibroproliferative response to numerous different forms of insult. Injury or dysfunction of the vascular endothelium is a common feature of may conditions that predispose a subject to accelerated development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. For example, shear stresses are thought to be responsible for the frequent occurrence of atherosclerotic plaques in regions of the circulatory system where turbulent blood flow occurs, such as branch points and irregular structures.

[0003] The first observable event in the formation of an atherosclerotic plaque occurs when blood-borne monocytes adhere to the vascular endothelial layer and transmigrate through to the sub-endothelial space. Adjacent endothelial cells at the same time produce oxidized low density lipoprotein (LDL). These oxidized LDLs are then taken up in large amounts by the monocytes through scavenger receptors expressed on their surfaces. In contrast to the regulated pathway by which native LDL (nLDL) is taken up by nLDL specific receptors, the scavenger pathway of uptake is not regulated by the monocytes.

[0004] These lipid-filled monocytes are called foam cells, and are the major constituent of the fatty streak. Interactions between foam cells and the endothelial and SMCs which surround them lead to a state of chronic local inflammation which can eventually lead to smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration, and the formation of a fibrous plaque.

[0005] Such plaques occlude the blood vessel concerned and, thus, restrict the flow of blood, resulting in ischemia. Ischemia is a condition characterized by a lack of oxygen supply in tissues of organs due to inadequate perfusion. Such inadequate perfusion can have a number of natural causes, including atherosclerotic or restenotic lesions, anemia, or stroke. Many medical interventions, such as the interruption of the flow of blood during bypass surgery, for example, also lead to ischemia. In addition to sometimes being caused by diseased cardiovascular tissue, ischemia may sometimes affect cardiovascular tissue, such as in ischemic heart disease. Ischemia may occur in any organ, however, that is suffering a lack of oxygen supply.

[0006] One of the most important risk factors for coronary artery disease is a familial history. Although family history subsumes both genetic and shared environmental factors, studies suggest that CAD has a very strong genetic component (Marenberg, et al. (1994) NEJM 330:1041). Despite the importance of family history as a risk factor for CAD, it's incomplete genetic basis has not been elucidated. Therefore, the identification of genes which are involved in the development of CAD and MI would be beneficial.

[0007] It would thus be beneficial to identify polymorphic regions within genes which are associated with a vascular disease or disorder, such as coronary artery disease or myocardial infarction. It would further be desirable to provide prognostic, diagnostic, pharmacogenomic, and therapeutic methods utilizing the identified polymorphic regions.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The present invention is based, at least in part, on the identification of polymorphic regions within the thrombospondin 2 (THBS2) gene, angiotensin converting enzyme 1 (ACE) gene, and the beta fibrinogen (FGB) gene which are associated with specific diseases or disorders, including vascular diseases or disorders. In particular, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in these genes which are associated with premature coronary artery disease (CAD) (or coronary heart disease) and myocardial infarction (MI) have been identified. SNPs in these genes, as identified herein, singly or in combination, can be utilized to predict, in a subject, a decreased risk for developing a vascular disease, e.g., CAD and/or MI.

[0009] The SNPs identified herein may further be used in the development of new treatments for vascular disease based upon comparison of the variant and normal versions of the gene or gene product (e.g., the reference sequence), and development of cell-culture based and animal models for research and treatment of vascular disease. The invention further relates to novel compounds and pharmaceutical compositions for use in the diagnosis and treatment of such disorders. In preferred embodiments, the vascular disease is CAD or MI.

[0010] The polymorphisms of the invention may thus be used, both singly or in combination, in prognostic, diagnostic, and therapeutic methods. For example, the polymorphisms of the invention can be used to determine whether a subject is or is not at risk of developing a disease or disorder associated with a specific allelic variant of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB polymorphic region, e.g., a disease or disorder associated with aberrant THBS2, ACE, or FGB activity, e.g., a vascular disease or disorder such as CAD or MI.

[0011] The invention thus relates to isolated nucleic acid molecules and methods of using these molecules. The nucleic acid molecules of the invention include specific THBS2, ACE, or FGB allelic variants which differ from the reference THBS2, ACE, or FGB sequences set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 (GI 307505), SEQ ID NO:3 (GI 13027555), or SEQ ID NO:5 (GI 182597), respectively, or a portion thereof. The preferred nucleic acid molecules of the invention comprise THBS2, ACE, or FGB polymorphic regions or portions thereof having the polymorphisms shown in Tables 1, 4, and 6 (corresponding to SEQ ID NOs.:7, 8, 9, 10, and 11), polymorphisms in linkage disequilibrium with the polymorphisms shown in Tables 1, 4, and 6, and combinations thereof. Nucleic acids of the invention can function as probes or primers, e.g., in methods for determining the allelic identity of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB polymorphic region in a nucleic acid of interest.

[0012] The nucleic acids of the invention can also be used, singly or in combination, to determine whether a subject is or is not at risk of developing a disease associated with a specific allelic variant of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB polymorphic region, e.g., a disease or disorder associated with aberrant THBS2, ACE, or FGB activity, e.g., a vascular disease or disorder such as CAD or MI. The nucleic acids of the invention can further be used to prepare THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides encoded by specific alleles, such as mutant (variant) alleles. Such polypeptides can be used in therapy. Polypeptides encoded by specific THBS2, ACE, or FGB alleles, such as variant THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides, can also be used as immunogens and selection agents for preparing, isolating or identifying antibodies that specifically bind THBS2, ACE, or FGB proteins encoded by these alleles. Accordingly, such antibodies can be used to detect variant THBS2, ACE, or FGB proteins.

[0013] There are two preferred SNPs in the THBS2 gene. One polymorphism found in the THBS2 gene in the population screened is a change from a thymidine (T) to a guanine (G), or the complement thereof, in the THBS2 gene at residue 3949 of the reference sequence GI 307505 (polymorphism ID No. G5755e5). A second polymorphism in the THBS 2 gene is a change from a thymidine (T) to a cytidine (C), or the complement thereof, at residue 4476 of the reference sequence GI 307505 (polymorphism ID No. G5755e9). These polymorphisms are located in the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of the THBS2 gene, and therefore do not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the THBS2 protein.

[0014] There is one preferred SNP in the ACE gene. This SNP, identified herein as G765u2, is a change from an adenine (A) to a guanine (G), or the complement thereof, at nucleotide residue 86408 of the ACE reference sequence GI 13027555. This SNP is a “silent” variant. That is, it does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the ACE protein.

[0015] There are two preferred SNPs in the FGB gene. One SNP, referred to herein as FGBu1, is a change from a cytidine (C) to a thymidine (T), or the complement thereof, at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597. This SNP is a silent variant. The second SNP, FGBu4, is a change from a guanine (G) to an adenine (A), or the complement thereof, at nucleotide residue 8059 in the reference sequence GI 182597. This polymorphism is a missense variation which results in a change from an arginine (R) to a lysine (K) in the amino acid sequence of FGB (SEQ ID NO:6) at amino acid residue 478.

[0016] The nucleic acid molecules of the invention can be double- or single-stranded. Accordingly, in one embodiment of the invention, a complement of the nucleotide sequence is provided wherein the polymorphism has been identified. For example, where there has been a single nucleotide change from a thymidine to a cytidine in a single strand, the complement of that strand will contain a change from an adenine to a guanine at the corresponding nucleotide residue. The invention further provides allele-specific oligonucleotides that hybridize to a gene comprising a polymorphism of the present invention or to its complement.

[0017] The polymorphisms of the present invention, either singly, in combination with each other, or in combination with previously identified polymorphisms, are shown herein to be associated with specific disorders, e.g., vascular diseases or disorders. Examples of vascular diseases or disorders include, without limitation, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial infarction (MI), ischemia, stroke, peripheral vascular diseases, venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism.

[0018] The invention further provides vectors comprising the nucleic acid molecules of the present invention; host cells transfected with said vectors whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic; and transgenic non-human animals which contain a heterologous form of a functional or non-functional THBS2, ACE, or FGB allele described herein. Such a transgenic animal can serve as an animal model for studying the effect of specific THBS2, ACE, or FGB allelic variations, including mutations, as well as for use in drug screening and/or recombinant protein production.

[0019] In another preferred embodiment, the method comprises determining the nucleotide content of at least a portion of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene, such as by sequence analysis. In yet another embodiment, determining the molecular structure of at least a portion of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene is carried out by single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP). In yet another embodiment, the method is an oligonucleotide ligation assay (OLA). Other methods within the scope of the invention for determining the molecular structure of at least a portion of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene include hybridization of allele-specific oligonucleotides, sequence specific amplification, primer specific extension, and denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC). In at least some of the methods of the invention, the probe or primer is allele specific. Preferred probes or primers are single stranded nucleic acids, which optionally are labeled.

[0020] The methods of the invention can be used for determining the identity of a nucleotide or amino acid residue within a polymorphic region of a human THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene present in a subject. For example, the methods of the invention can be useful for determining whether a subject is or is not at risk of developing a disease or condition associated with a specific allelic variant of a polymorphic region in the human THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene, e.g., a vascular disease or disorder.

[0021] In one embodiment, the disease or condition is characterized by an aberrant THBS2, ACE, or FGB activity, such as aberrant THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein level, which can result from aberrant expression of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene. The disease or condition can be CAD, MI, or another vascular disease. Accordingly, the invention provides methods for predicting a subject's risk for developing a vascular disease associated with aberrant THBS2, ACE, or FGB activity. In a preferred embodiment, a subject having “pattern 1,” which comprises two copies of the variant allele of G5755e9 (CC) in combination with two copies of the reference allele of G5755e5 (TT), or the complement thereof, or “pattern 2”, which comprises two copies of the reference allele of G5755e9 (TT) and two copies of the variant allele of G5755e5 (GG), or the complement thereof, is at a approximately 3-fold decreased odds of vascular disease compared to all other combinations of genotypes at these two loci.

[0022] In another preferred embodiment, a subject having one copy of an A and one copy of a G at nucleotide 86408 of the ACE reference sequence GI 13027555 (AG genotype), or the complement thereof, is at a decreased risk for vascular disease relative to persons with other genotypes for this SNP (e.g., AA or GG genotypes).

[0023] In yet another preferred embodiment, a subject having two copies of a T at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597, or the complement thereof, is at a ˜3-fold decreased risk for vascular disease relative to persons with the CC genotype. A subject having one copy of a T and one copy of a C at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597, or the complement thereof, is also at a decreased risk for vascular disease relative to persons with the CC genotype.

[0024] In still another preferred embodiment, a subject having two copies of an A at nucleotide residue 8059 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597, or the complement thereof, is at a ˜3-fold decreased risk for vascular disease relative to persons with the GG genotype. A subject having one copy of an A and one copy of a G at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597, or the complement thereof, is also at a decreased risk for vascular disease relative to persons with the GG genotype (see Example 1).

[0025] Additionally, the invention provides a method of identifying a subject who is or is not susceptible to a vascular disorder, which method comprises the steps of i) providing a nucleic acid sample from a subject; and ii) detecting in the nucleic acid sample the presence or absence of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene polymorphism, or both in combination, that correlate with the vascular disorder with a P value less than or equal to 0.05.

[0026] The invention further provides forensic methods based on detection of polymorphisms within the THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene.

[0027] The invention also provides probes and primers comprising oligonucleotides, which correspond to a region of nucleotide sequence which hybridizes to at least 6 consecutive nucleotides of the sequence set forth as SEQ ID NOs.:7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 or to the complement of the sequences set forth as SEQ ID NOs.:7, 8, 9, 10, and 11, or naturally occurring mutants or variants thereof. In preferred embodiments, the probe/primer further includes a label attached thereto, which is capable of being detected.

[0028] A kit of the invention can be used, e.g., for determining whether a subject is or is not at risk of developing a disease associated with a specific allelic variant of a polymorphic region of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene, e.g., a vascular disease, e.g., CAD or MI. In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides a kit for determining whether a subject is or is not at risk of developing a vascular disease such as, for example, atherosclerosis, CAD, MI, ischemia, stroke, peripheral vascular diseases, venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism. The kit of the invention can also be used in selecting the appropriate clinical course of clinical treatment to a subject to treat a disease or condition, such as a disease or condition set forth above. Thus, determining the allelic variants of THBS2, ACE, or FGB polymorphic regions of a subject can be useful in predicting how a subject will respond to a specific drug, e.g., a drug for treating a disease or disorder associated with aberrant THBS2, ACE, or FGB, e.g., a vascular disease or disorder.

[0029] Other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description and claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0036] The present invention is based, in part, on the identification of polymorphic regions within the thrombospondin 2 (THBS2) gene, the angiotensin converting enzyme 1 (ACE) gene, and the beta fibrinogen (FGB) gene. The polymorphic regions of the invention contain polymorphisms which correlate with specific diseases or conditions, including vascular diseases or disorders, including, but not limited to, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial infarction (MI), ischemia, stroke, peripheral vascular diseases, venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism.

THBS2

[0037] Two SNPs in the THBS2 gene have been identified which are associated with vascular disease, e.g. CAD and MI. The first THBS2 SNP, referred to herein as G5755e5, is a change from a thymidine (T) to a guanine (G) in the THBS2 gene at residue 3949 of the reference sequence GI 307505. The second THBS2 SNP, referred to herein as G5755e9, is a change from a thymidine (T) to a cytidine (C) in the THBS2 gene at residue 4476 of the reference sequence GI 307505. These SNPs are within the 3′ untranslated region of the THBS2 gene. Therefore, they do not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the THBS2 protein.

[0038] The variant allele, G, of the THBS2 SNP G5755e5, was previously shown to be associated with vascular disease, e.g., MI and CAD. Individuals homozygous for the variant allele (GG) are at greater than 2-fold decreased odds of having vascular disease. Homozygous carriers of the variant allele of the G5755e9 SNP (CC) also showed a ˜3-fold decreased odds of vascular disease.

[0039] These two SNPs, G5755e5 and G5755e9, are in significant negative linkage disequilibrium with each other (D′=0.49 (−), p=0.04). The two SNPs together reveal distinct patterns of risk. Pattern 1 comprises two copies of the variant allele of G5755e9 (CC) in combination with two copies of the reference allele of G5755e5 (TT). Pattern 2 comprises two copies of the reference allele of G5755e9 (TT) and two copies of the variant allele of G5755e5 (GG). Patterns 1 and 2 may independently influence risk of vascular disease. Individuals who have pattern 1 or pattern 2 are at ˜3-fold decreased odds of vascular disease relative to persons with any other combination of genotypes for these two SNPs (odds ratio=0.32, p=0.001). Thus, individuals with pattern 1 or pattern 2 are protected against vascular disease, e.g., CAD and/or MI.

ACE

[0040] A SNP in the ACE gene, identified herein as G765u2, has been identified which is also associated with a decreased risk of vascular disease, e.g., MI and CAD, in a subject. The G765u2 SNP is a change from an adenine (A) to a guanine (G) at nucleotide residue 86408 of the ACE reference sequence GI 13027555. This SNP is a “silent” variant. That is, it does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the ACE protein. Individuals with one copy of an A (the reference allele) and one copy of a G (the variant allele) at nucleotide residue 86408 of the ACE reference sequence GI 13027555 (AG genotype) are at a decreased risk for vascular disease, e.g., CAD or MI (CAD odds ratio:0.71; MI odds ratio: 0.66) relative to persons with other genotypes for this SNP (e.g., AA or GG genotypes) . . . Thus, individuals with this genotype are protected against vascular disease, e.g. CAD and/or MI.

[0041] An insertion/deletion polymorphism in the ACE gene was previously associated with vascular disease, e.g., associated with a decreased risk for MI (as described in Cambien F, et al. (1992) Nature 359: 641-644, incorporated herein in its entirety by reference). The G765u2 SNP may be found to be in linkage disequilibrium with the previously identified insertion/deletion polymorphism. If these two polymorphisms are in linkage disequilibrium (LD), the G765u2 SNP would act as a marker for the insertion/deletion polymorphism. Regardless of LD between these two polymorphisms, the G765u2 SNP represents a novel association with vascular disease.

FGB

[0042] Two SNPs in the FGB gene, identified herein as FGBu1 and FGBu4, have been identified which are associated with a decreased risk of vascular disease, e.g., CAD and/or MI. The first SNP, FGBu1, is a change from a cytidine (C) to a thymidine (T) at nucleotide residue 5118 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597. This SNP is a silent variant. The second SNP, FGBu4, is a change from a guanine (G) to an adenine (A) at nucleotide residue 8059 in the reference sequence GI 182597. This polymorphism is a missense variation which results in a change from an arginine (R) to a lysine (K) in the amino acid sequence of FGB (SEQ ID NO:6) at amino acid residue 478. For the FGBu1 SNP, individuals with two copies of a T (the variant allele) at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597 are at a decreased risk for vascular disease, e.g., CAD or MI (CAD odds ratio: 0.28; MI odds ratio: 0.43) relative to persons with the CC genotype. Individuals with one copy of a T and one copy of a C (the reference allele) at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597 are also at a decreased risk for vascular disease, e.g., CAD or MI (CAD odds ratio: 0.66; MI odds ratio: 0.72) relative to persons with the CC genotype. Thus, individuals with the TT or CT genotype at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597 are protected against vascular disease, e.g. CAD and/or MI.

[0043] For the FGBu4 SNP, individuals with two copies of an A (the variant allele) at nucleotide residue 8059 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597 are at a decreased risk for vascular disease, e.g., CAD or MI (CAD odds ratio: 0.28; MI odds ratio: 0.43) relative to persons with the GG genotype. Individuals with one copy of an A and one copy of a G (the reference allele) at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597 are also at a decreased risk for vascular disease, e.g., CAD or MI (CAD odds ratio: 0.61; MI odds ratio: 0.66) relative to persons with the GG genotype. Thus, individuals with the AA or GA genotype at nucleotide residue 8059 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597 are also protected against vascular disease, e.g. CAD and/or MI.

[0044] Other variants including one in the promoter region of the FGB gene at nucleotide residue −455 (as described in Shea S, et al (1999) Am J Epidemiol; 159:737-46, incorporated herein in its entirely by reference), have been previously associated with vascular disease, e.g., CAD and MI. The FGBu1 and FGBu4 SNPs may be found to be in linkage disequilibrium with these previously identified SNPs. If these SNPs are in linkage disequilibrium (LD), the FGBu1 and FGBu4 SNPs would act as markers for the previously identified SNPs. Regardless of LD, the FGBu1 and FGBu4 SNPs represent novel associations with vascular disease.

[0045] The polymorphisms of the present invention are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at a specific nucleotide residue within the THBS2 gene, the ACE gene, and FGB gene. The THBS2 gene, the ACE gene, and FGB gene have at least two alleles, referred to herein as the reference allele and the variant allele. The reference alleles (i.e., the consensus sequences) have been designated based on their frequency in a general United States Caucasian population sample. The reference allele is the more common of the two alleles; the variant allele is the more rare of the two alleles. Nucleotide sequences in GenBank may correspond to either allele and correspond to the nucleotide sequence of the nucleotide sequence which has been deposited in GenBank™ and given a specific Accession Number (e.g., GI 307505, the reference sequence for the THBS2 gene, GI 13027555, the reference sequence for the ACE gene, and GI 182597, the reference sequence for the FGB gene, corresponding to SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:3, and SEQ ID NO:5, respectively). The reference sequence for the amino acid sequences of THBS2, ACE, and FGB proteins are set forth as SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:4, and SEQ ID NO:6, respectively. The variant allele differs from the reference allele by at least one nucleotide at the site(s) identified in Tables 1, 4, and 6 (see Example 1, below), and those in linkage disequilibrium therewith. The present invention thus relates to nucleotides comprising variant alleles of the THBS2, ACE, and/or FGB reference sequences, and/or complements of the variant alleles to be used singly or in combination with each other.

[0046] The invention further relates to nucleotides comprising portions of the variant alleles and/or portions of complements of the variant alleles which comprise the site of the polymorphism and are at least 5 nucleotides or basepairs in length. Portions can be, for example, 5-10, 5-15, 10-20, 2-25, 10-30, 10-50 or 10-100 bases or basepairs long. For example, a portion of a variant allele which is 17 nucleotides or basepairs in length includes the polymorphism (i.e., the nucleotide(s) which differ from the reference allele at that site) and twenty additional nucleotides or basepairs which flank the site in the variant allele. These additional nucleotides and basepairs can be on one or both sides of the polymorphism. Polymorphisms which are the subject of this invention are defined in Tables 1, 4, and 6 with respect to the reference sequences identified in Tables 1, 4, and 6 (GI 307505, GI 13027555, and GI 182597), and those polymorphisms in linkage disequilibrium with the polymorphisms of Tables 1, 4, and 6. For example, the invention relates to nucleotides comprising a portion of the THBS2 gene having a nucleotide sequence of GI 307505 (SEQ ID NO:1), or a portion thereof, comprising a polymorphism at a specific nucleotide residue (e.g., a guanine at nucleotide residue 3949 of GI 307505 or a cytidine at nucleotide residue 4476, or the complement thereof), nucleotides comprising a portion of the ACE gene having a nucleotide sequence of GI 13027555 (SEQ ID NO:3), or a portion thereof, comprising a polymorphism at a specific nucleotide residue (e.g., a guanine at residue 86408, or the complement thereof), or nucleotides comprising a portion of the FGB gene having a nucleotide sequence of GI 182597 (SEQ ID NO:5), or a portion thereof, comprising a polymorphism at a specific nucleotide residue (e.g., a thymidine at residue 5119 or an adenine at residue 8059, or the complement thereof).

[0047] Specific reference nucleotide (SEQ ID NO:1) and amino acid (SEQ ID NO:2) sequences for THBS2 are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, respectively. Specific reference nucleotide (SEQ ID NO:3) and amino acid (SEQ ID NO: 4) sequences for ACE are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, respectively. Specific reference nucleotide (SEQ ID NO:5) and amino acid (SEQ ID NO:6) sequences for FGB are shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, respectively. It is understood that the invention is not limited by these exemplified reference sequences, as variants of these sequences which differ at locations other than the SNP sites identified herein can also be utilized. The skilled artisan can readily determine the SNP sites in these other reference sequences which correspond to the SNP sites identified herein by aligning the sequence of interest with the reference sequences specifically disclosed herein. Programs for performing such alignments are commercially available. For example, the ALIGN program in the GCG software package can be used, utilizing a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12 and a gap penalty of 4, for example.

[0048] The polymorphic region of the present invention is associated with specific diseases or disorders and has been identified in the human THBS2, ACE, and FGB genes by analyzing the DNA of human populations. In particular, 352 U.S. Caucasian gene by analyzing the DNA of cell lines derived from an ethnically diverse population by methods described in Cargill, et al. (1999) Nature Genetics 22:231-238.

[0049] Cases which were used to identify associations between vascular disease and SNPs were comprised of 352 U.S. Caucasian subjects with premature coronary artery disease were identified in 15 participating medical centers, fulfilling the criteria of either myocardial infarction, surgical or percutaneous revascularization, or a significant coronary artery lesion diagnosed before age 45 in men or age 50 in women and having a living sibling who met the same criteria. These cases were compared with a random sample of 418 Caucasian controls drawn from the general U.S. population in Atlanta, Ga.

[0050] The allelic variants of the present invention were identified by performing denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) analysis, variant detector arrays (Affymetrix™), the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and/or single stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of genomic DNA from independent individuals as described in the Examples, using PCR primers complementary to intronic sequences surrounding each of the exons, 3′ UTR, and 5′ upstream regulatory element sequences of the THBS2, ACE, and FGB genes.

[0051] The presence of at least one polymorphism in the ACE gene in the population studied was identified was identified and at least two polymorphisms in the THBS2, and FGB genes in the population studied were identified. Both of the variants are characterized as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The preferred polymorphisms of the invention are listed in Tables 1, 4, and 6.

[0052] Tables 1, 4, and 6 contains a “polymorphism ID No.” in column 2, which is used herein to identify each individual variant. In Tables 1, 4, and 6, the nucleotide sequence flanking each polymorphism is provided in column 9, wherein the polymorphic residue(s), having the variant nucleotide, is indicated in lower-case letters. There are 15 nucleotides flanking the polymorphic nucleotide residue (i.e., 15 nucleotides 5′ of the polymorphism and 15 nucleotides 3′ of the polymorphism). Column 10 indicates the SEQ ID NO. that is used to identify each polymorphism. SEQ ID NOs.:7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 comprise sequences shown in column 9 with the variant nucleotide at the residue(s) shown in lower-case letters.

[0053] Each polymorphism is identified based on a change in the nucleotide sequence from a consensus sequence, or the “reference sequence.” To identify the location of each polymorphism in Tables 1, 4, and 6, a specific nucleotide residue in a reference sequence is listed for each polymorphism, where nucleotide residue number 1 is the first (i.e., 5′) nucleotide in GI 307505 (the reference sequence for the THBS2 gene, corresponding to SEQ ID NO:1), the first nucleotide in GI 13027555 (the reference sequence for the ACE gene, corresponding to SEQ ID NO:3), and the first nucleotide in GI 182597 (the reference sequence for the FGB gene, corresponding to SEQ ID NO:5). Column 8 lists the reference sequence and polymorphic residue for each polymorphism.

[0054] Column 4 describes the type of variant for each SNP. The SNPs of the present invention result in either a silent variant, a missense variant, or a 3′ untranslated region variant. For example, as can be seen in Tables 1, 4, and 6, both THBS2 SNPs (G5755e5 and G5755e9) are located in the 3′ UTR of the THBS2 gene. The ACE SNP (G765u2) is a silent variant. The FGBu1 SNP in the FGB gene is also a silent variant. The FGBu4 SNP in the FGB gene results in a change from an arginine (R) to a lysine (K). Therefore, this SNP is identified as a missense SNP.

[0055] The nucleic acid molecules of the invention can be double- or single-stranded. Accordingly, the invention further provides for the complementary nucleic acid strands comprising the polymorphisms listed in Tables 1, 4, and 6.

[0056] The invention further provides allele-specific oligonucleotides that hybridize to a gene comprising a single nucleotide polymorphism or to the complement of the gene. Such oligonucleotides will hybridize to one polymorphic form of the nucleic acid molecules described herein but not to the other polymorphic form(s) of the sequence. Thus such oligonucleotides can be used to determine the presence or absence of particular alleles of the polymorphic sequences described herein. These oligonucleotides can be probes or primers.

[0057] Not only does the present invention provide polymorphisms in linkage disequilibrium with the polymorphisms of Tables 1, 4, and 6, it also provides methods for revealing the existence of yet other polymorphic regions in the human THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene. For example, the polymorphism studies described herein can also be applied to populations in which other vascular diseases or disorders are prevalent.

[0058] Other aspects of the invention are described below or will be apparent to one of skill in the art in light of the present disclosure.

Definitions

[0059] For convenience, the meaning of certain terms and phrases employed in the specification, examples, and appended claims are provided below.

[0060] The term “allele”, which is used interchangeably herein with “allelic variant” refers to alternative forms of a gene or portions thereof. Alleles occupy the same locus or position on homologous chromosomes. When a subject has two identical alleles of a gene, the subject is said to be homozygous for the gene or allele. When a subject has two different alleles of a gene, the subject is said to be heterozygous for the gene or allele. Alleles of a specific gene, including the THBS2, ACE, or FGB genes, can differ from each other in a single nucleotide, or several nucleotides, and can include substitutions, deletions, and insertions of nucleotides. An allele of a gene can also be a form of a gene containing one or more mutations.

[0061] The term “allelic variant of a polymorphic region of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene” refers to an alternative form of the THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene having one of several possible nucleotide sequences found in that region of the gene in the population.

[0062] “Biological activity” or “bioactivity” or “activity” or “biological function”, which are used interchangeably, for the purposes herein when applied to THBS2, ACE, or FGB, means an effector or antigenic function that is directly or indirectly performed by a THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptide (whether in its native or denatured conformation), or by a fragment thereof. Biological activities include modulation of the development of atherosclerotic plaque leading to vascular disease and other biological activities, whether presently known or inherent. A THBS2, ACE, or FGB bioactivity can be modulated by directly affecting a THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein effected by, for example, changing the level of effector or substrate level. Alternatively, a THBS2, ACE, or FGB bioactivity can be modulated by modulating the level of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein, such as by modulating expression of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene. Antigenic functions include possession of an epitope or antigenic site that is capable of cross-reacting with antibodies that bind a native or denatured THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptide or fragment thereof.

[0063] Biologically active THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides include polypeptides having both an effector and antigenic function, or only one of such functions. THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides include antagonist polypeptides and native THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides, provided that such antagonists include an epitope of a native THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptide. An effector function of THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptide can be the ability to bind to a ligand of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB molecule.

[0064] As used herein the term “bioactive fragment of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein” refers to a fragment of a full-length THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein, wherein the fragment specifically mimics or antagonizes the activity of a wild-type THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein. The bioactive fragment preferably is a fragment capable of binding to a second molecule, such as a ligand.

[0065] The term “an aberrant activity” or “abnormal activity”, as applied to an activity of a protein such as THBS2, ACE, or FGB, refers to an activity which differs from the activity of the wild-type (i.e., normal or reference) protein or which differs from the activity of the protein in a healthy subject, e.g., a subject not afflicted with a disease associated with a THBS2, ACE, or FGB allelic variant. An activity of a protein can be aberrant because it is stronger than the activity of its wild-type counterpart. Alternatively, an activity of a protein can be aberrant because it is weaker or absent relative to the activity of its wild-type counterpart. An aberrant activity can also be a change in reactivity. For example an aberrant protein can interact with a different protein or ligand relative to its wild-type counterpart. A cell can also have aberrant THBS2, ACE, or FGB activity due to overexpression or underexpression of the THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene. Aberrant THBS2, ACE, or FGB activity can result from a mutation in the gene, which results, e.g., in lower or higher binding affinity of a ligand to the THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein encoded by the mutated gene. Aberrant THBS2, ACE, or FGB activity can also result from an abnormal THBS2, ACE, or FGB 5′ upstream regulatory element activity.

[0066] “Cells,” “host cells” or “recombinant host cells” are terms used interchangeably herein. It is understood that such terms refer not only to the particular cell but to the progeny or derivatives of such a cell. Because certain modifications may occur in succeeding generations due to either mutation or environmental influences, such progeny may not, in fact, be identical to the parent cell, but are still included within the scope of the term as used herein.

[0067] As used herein, the term “course of clinical therapy” refers to any chosen method to treat, prevent, or ameliorate a vascular disease, e.g., CAD or MI, symptoms thereof, or related diseases or disorders. Courses of clinical therapy include, but are not limited to, lifestyle changes (e.g., changes in diet or environment), administration of medication, use of medical devices, such as, but not limited to, stents, angioplasty devices, defibrillators, pacemakers, and surgical procedures, such as, for example, percutaneous transluminal coronary balloon angioplasty (PTCA) or laser angioplasty, defibrillators, implantation of a stent, or other surgical intervention, such as, for example, coronary bypass grafting (CABG), or any combination thereof.

[0068] As used herein, the term “gene” or “recombinant gene” refers to a nucleic acid molecule comprising an open reading frame and including at least one exon and (optionally) an intron sequence. The term “intron” refers to a DNA sequence present in a given gene which is spliced out during mRNA maturation.

[0069] As used herein, the term “genetic profile” refers to the information obtained from identification of the specific alleles of a subject, e.g., specific alleles within a polymorphic region of a particular gene or genes or proteins encoded by such genes. For example, a THBS genetic profile refers to the specific alleles of a subject within the THBS2 gene, an ACE genetic profile refers to the specific alleles of a subject within the ACE gene, and a FGB genetic profile refers to the specific alleles of a subject within the FGB gene. For example, one can determine a subject's THBS2, ACE, and/or FGB genetic profile by determining the identity of the nucleotide present at nucleotide position 3949 and/or nucleotide position 4476 of SEQ ID NO:1, and/or the nucleotide present at nucleotide position 86408 of SEQ ID NO:3, and/or the nucleotide present at nucleotide position 5119 and/or nucleotide position 8059 of SEQ ID NO:5. One can also determine a subject's FGB genetic profile by determining the identity of the amino acid present at amino acid residue 478 of SEQ ID NO:6. The genetic profile of a particular disease can be ascertained through identification of the identity of allelic variants in one or more genes which are associated with the particular disease.

[0070] “Homology” or “identity” or “similarity” refers to sequence similarity between two peptides or between two nucleic acid molecules. Homology can be determined by comparing a position in each sequence which may be aligned for purposes of comparison. When a position in the compared sequence is occupied by the same base or amino acid, then the molecules are homologous at that position. A degree of homology between sequences is a function of the number of matching or homologous positions shared by the sequences. An “unrelated” or “non-homologous” sequence shares less than 40% identity, though preferably less than 25% identity, with one of the sequences of the present invention.

[0071] To determine the percent identity of two amino acid sequences or of two nucleic acids, the sequences are aligned for optimal comparison purposes (e.g., gaps can be introduced in the sequence of a first amino acid or nucleic acid sequence for optimal alignment with a second amino or nucleic acid sequence). The amino acid residues or nucleotides at corresponding amino acid positions or nucleotide positions are then compared. When a position in the first sequence is occupied by the same amino acid residue or nucleotide as the corresponding position in the second sequence, then the molecules are identical at that position. The percent identity between the two sequences is a function of the number of identical positions shared by the sequences (i.e., % identity=number of identical positions/total number of positions (e.g., overlapping positions)×100). In one embodiment the two sequences are the same length.

[0072] The determination of percent identity between two sequences can be accomplished using a mathematical algorithm. A preferred, non-limiting example of a mathematical algorithm utilized for the comparison of two sequences is the algorithm of Karlin and Altschul (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:2264-2268, modified as in Karlin and Altschul (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:5873-5877. Such an algorithm is incorporated into the NBLAST and XBLAST programs of Altschul, et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410. BLAST nucleotide searches can be performed with the NBLAST program, score=100, wordlength=12 to obtain nucleotide sequences homologous to a nucleic acid molecules of the invention. BLAST protein searches can be performed with the XBLAST program, score=50, wordlength=3 to obtain amino acid sequences homologous to a protein molecules of the invention. To obtain gapped alignments for comparison purposes, Gapped BLAST can be utilized as described in Altschul et al. (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402. Alternatively, PSI-Blast can be used to perform an iterated search which detects distant relationships between molecules. When utilizing BLAST, Gapped BLAST, and PSI-Blast programs, the default parameters of the respective programs (e.g., XBLAST and NBLAST) can be used. Another preferred, non-limiting example of a mathematical algorithm utilized for the comparison of sequences is the algorithm of Myers and Miller, (1988) CABIOS 4:11-17. Such an algorithm is incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0) which is part of the GCG sequence alignment software package. When utilizing the ALIGN program for comparing amino acid sequences, a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12, and a gap penalty of 4 can be used. Yet another useful algorithm for identifying regions of local sequence similarity and alignment is the FASTA algorithm as described in Pearson and Lipman (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444-2448. When using the FASTA algorithm for comparing nucleotide or amino acid sequences, a PAM120 weight residue table can, for example, be used with a k-tuple value of 2.

[0073] The term “a homolog of a nucleic acid” refers to a nucleic acid having a nucleotide sequence having a certain degree of homology with the nucleotide sequence of the nucleic acid or complement thereof. For example, a homolog of a double stranded nucleic acid having SEQ ID NO:N is intended to include nucleic acids having a nucleotide sequence which has a certain degree of homology with SEQ ID NO:N or with the complement thereof. Preferred homologs of nucleic acids are capable of hybridizing to the nucleic acid or complement thereof.

[0074] The term “hybridization probe” or “primer” as used herein is intended to include oligonucleotides which hybridize bind in a base-specific manner to a complementary strand of a target nucleic acid. Such probes include peptide nucleic acids, and described in Nielsen et al., (1991) Science 254:1497-1500. Probes and primers can be any length suitable for specific hybridization to the target nucleic acid sequence. The most appropriate length of the probe and primer may vary depending on the hybridization method in which it is being used; for example, particular lengths may be more appropriate for use in microfabricated arrays, while other lengths may be more suitable for use in classical hybridization methods. Such optimizations are known to the skilled artisan. Suitable probes and primers can range form about 5 nucleotides to about 30 nucleotides in length. For example, probes and primers can be 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 25, 26, 28 or 30 nucleotides in length. The probe or primer of the invention comprises a sequence that flanks and/or preferably overlaps, at least one polymorphic site occupied by any of the possible variant nucleotides. The nucleotide sequence of an overlapping probe or primer can correspond to the coding sequence of the allele or to the complement of the coding sequence of the allele.

[0075] The term “vascular disease or disorder” as used herein refers to any disease or disorder effecting the vascular system, including the heart and blood vessels. A vascular disease or disorder includes any disease or disorder characterized by vascular dysfunction, including, for example, intravascular stenosis (narrowing) or occlusion (blockage), due to the development of atherosclerotic plaque and diseases and disorders resulting therefrom. Examples of vascular diseases and disorders include, without limitation, atherosclerosis, CAD, MI, ischemia, stroke, peripheral vascular diseases, venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism.

[0076] The term “interact” as used herein is meant to include detectable interactions between molecules, such as can be detected using, for example, a binding or hybridization assay. The term interact is also meant to include “binding” interactions between molecules. Interactions may be, for example, protein-protein, protein-nucleic acid, protein-small molecule or small molecule-nucleic acid in nature.

[0077] The term “intronic sequence” or “intronic nucleotide sequence” refers to the nucleotide sequence of an intron or portion thereof.

[0078] The term “isolated” as used herein with respect to nucleic acids, such as DNA or RNA, refers to molecules separated from other DNAs or RNAs, respectively, that are present in the natural source of the macromolecule. The term isolated as used herein also refers to a nucleic acid or peptide that is substantially free of cellular material, viral material, or culture medium when produced by recombinant DNA techniques, or chemical precursors or other chemicals when chemically synthesized. Moreover, an “isolated nucleic acid” is meant to include nucleic acid fragments which are not naturally occurring as fragments and would not be found in the natural state. The term “isolated” is also used herein to refer to polypeptides which are isolated from other cellular proteins and is meant to encompass both purified and recombinant polypeptides.

[0079] The term “linkage” describes the tendency of genes, alleles, loci or genetic markers to be inherited together as a result of their location on the same chromosome. It can be measured by percent recombination between the two genes, alleles, loci, or genetic markers. The term “linkage disequilibrium” refers to a greater than random association between specific alleles at two marker loci within a particular population. In general, linkage disequilibrium decreases with an increase in physical distance. If linkage disequilibrium exists between two markers, then the genotypic information at one marker can be used to make probabilistic predictions about the genotype of the second marker.

[0080] The term “locus” refers to a specific position in a chromosome. For example, a locus of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene refers to the chromosomal position of the THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene.

[0081] The term “modulation” as used herein refers to both upregulation, (i.e., activation or stimulation), for example by agonizing; and downregulation (i.e. inhibition or suppression), for example by antagonizing of a bioactivity (e.g. expression of a gene).

[0082] The term “molecular structure” of a gene or a portion thereof refers to the structure as defined by the nucleotide content (including deletions, substitutions, additions of one or more nucleotides), the nucleotide sequence, the state of methylation, and/or any other modification of the gene or portion thereof.

[0083] The term “mutated gene” refers to an allelic form of a gene that differs from the predominant form in a population. A mutated gene is capable of altering the phenotype of a subject having the mutated gene relative to a subject having the predominant form of the gene. If a subject must be homozygous for this mutation to have an altered phenotype, the mutation is said to be recessive. If one copy of the mutated gene is sufficient to alter the phenotype of the subject, the mutation is said to be dominant. If a subject has one copy of the mutated gene and has a phenotype that is intermediate between that of a homozygous and that of a heterozygous subject (for that gene), the mutation is said to be co-dominant.

[0084] As used herein, the term “nucleic acid” refers to polynucleotides such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and, where appropriate, ribonucleic acid (RNA). The term should also be understood to include, as equivalents, derivatives, variants and analogs of either RNA or DNA made from nucleotide analogs, and, as applicable to the embodiment being described, single (sense or antisense) and double-stranded polynucleotides. Deoxyribonucleotides include deoxyadenosine, deoxycytidine, deoxyguanosine, and deoxythymidine. For purposes of clarity, when referring herein to a nucleotide of a nucleic acid, which can be DNA or an RNA, the terms “adenine”, “cytidine”, “guanine”, and thymidine” and/or “A”, “C”, “G”, and “T”, respectively, are used. It is understood that if the nucleic acid is RNA, a nucleotide having a uracil base is uridine.

[0085] The term “nucleotide sequence complementary to the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:N” refers to the nucleotide sequence of the complementary strand of a nucleic acid strand having SEQ ID NO:N. The term “complementary strand” is used herein interchangeably with the term “complement”. The complement of a nucleic acid strand can be the complement of a coding strand or the complement of a non-coding strand. When referring to double stranded nucleic acids, the complement of a nucleic acid having SEQ ID NO:N refers to the complementary strand of the strand having SEQ ID NO:N or to any nucleic acid having the nucleotide sequence of the complementary strand of SEQ ID NO:N. When referring to a single stranded nucleic acid having the nucleotide sequence SEQ ID NO:N, the complement of this nucleic acid is a nucleic acid having a nucleotide sequence which is complementary to that of SEQ ID NO:N. The nucleotide sequences and complementary sequences thereof are always given in the 5′ to 3′ direction. The term “complement” and “reverse complement” are used interchangeably herein.

[0086] A “non-human animal” of the invention can include mammals such as rodents, non-human primates, sheep, goats, horses, dogs, cows, chickens, amphibians, reptiles, etc. Preferred non-human animals are selected from the rodent family including rat and mouse, most preferably mouse, though transgenic amphibians, such as members of the Xenopus genus, and transgenic chickens can also provide important tools for understanding and identifying agents which can affect, for example, embryogenesis and tissue formation. The term “chimeric animal” is used herein to refer to animals in which an exogenous sequence is found, or in which an exogenous sequence is expressed in some but not all cells of the animal. The term “tissue-specific chimeric animal” indicates that an exogenous sequence is present and/or expressed or disrupted in some tissues, but not others.

[0087] The term “oligonucleotide” is intended to include and single- or double stranded DNA or RNA. Oligonucleotides can be naturally occurring or synthetic, but are typically prepared by synthetic means. Preferred oligonucleotides of the invention include segments of THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene sequence or their complements, which include and/or flank any one of the polymorphic sites shown in Tables 1, 4, and 6. The segments can be between 5 and 250 bases, and, in specific embodiments, are between 5-10, 5-20, 10-20, 10-50, 20-50 or 10-100 bases. For example, the segments can be 21 bases. The polymorphic site can occur within any position of the segment or a region next to the segment. The segments can be from any of the allelic forms of THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene sequence shown in Tables 1, 4, and 6.

[0088] The term “operably-linked” is intended to mean that the 5′ upstream regulatory element is associated with a nucleic acid in such a manner as to facilitate transcription of the nucleic acid from the 5′ upstream regulatory element.

[0089] The term “polymorphism” refers to the coexistence of more than one form of a gene or portion thereof. A portion of a gene of which there are at least two different forms, i.e., two different nucleotide sequences, is referred to as a “polymorphic region of a gene.” A polymorphic locus can be a single nucleotide, the identity of which differs in the other alleles. A polymorphic locus can also be more than one nucleotide long. The allelic form occurring most frequently in a selected population is often referred to as the reference and/or wildtype form. Other allelic forms are typically designated or alternative or variant alleles. Diploid organisms may be homozygous or heterozygous for allelic forms. A diallelic or biallelic polymorphism has two forms. A trialleleic polymorphism has three forms.

[0090] A “polymorphic gene” refers to a gene having at least one polymorphic region.

[0091] The term “primer” as used herein, refers to a single-stranded oligonucleotide which acts as a point of initiation of template-directed DNA synthesis under appropriate conditions (e.g., in the presence of four different nucleoside triphosphates and as agent for polymerization, such as DNA or RNA polymerase or reverse transcriptase) in an appropriate buffer and at a suitable temperature. The length of a primer may vary but typically ranges from 15 to 30 nucleotides. A primer need not match the exact sequence of a template, but must be sufficiently complementary to hybridize with the template.

[0092] The term “primer pair” refers to a set of primers including an upstream primer that hybridizes with the 3′ end of the complement of the DNA sequence to be amplified and a downstream primer that hybridizes with the 3′ end of the sequence to be amplified.

[0093] The terms “protein”, “polypeptide” and “peptide” are used interchangeably herein when referring to a gene product.

[0094] The term “recombinant protein” refers to a polypeptide which is produced by recombinant DNA techniques, wherein generally, DNA encoding the polypeptide is inserted into a suitable expression vector which is in turn used to transform a host cell to produce the heterologous protein.

[0095] A “regulatory element”, also termed herein “regulatory sequence” is intended to include elements which are capable of modulating transcription from a 5′ upstream regulatory sequence, including, but not limited to a basic promoter, and include elements such as enhancers and silencers. The term “enhancer”, also referred to herein as “enhancer element”, is intended to include regulatory elements capable of increasing, stimulating, or enhancing transcription from a 5′ upstream regulatory element, including a basic promoter. The term “silencer”, also referred to herein as “silencer element” is intended to include regulatory elements capable of decreasing, inhibiting, or repressing transcription from a 5′ upstream regulatory element, including a basic promoter. Regulatory elements are typically present in 5′ flanking regions of genes. Regulatory elements also may be present in other regions of a gene, such as introns. Thus, it is possible that THBS2, ACE, or FGB genes have regulatory elements located in introns, exons, coding regions, and 3′ flanking sequences. Such regulatory elements are also intended to be encompassed by the present invention and can be identified by any of the assays that can be used to identify regulatory elements in 5′ flanking regions of genes.

[0096] The term “regulatory element” further encompasses “tissue specific” regulatory elements, i.e., regulatory elements which effect expression of an operably linked DNA sequence preferentially in specific cells (e.g., cells of a specific tissue). Gene expression occurs preferentially in a specific cell if expression in this cell type is significantly higher than expression in other cell types. The term “regulatory element” also encompasses non-tissue specific regulatory elements, i.e., regulatory elements which are active in most cell types. Furthermore, a regulatory element can be a constitutive regulatory element, i.e., a regulatory element which constitutively regulates transcription, as opposed to a regulatory element which is inducible, i.e., a regulatory element which is active primarily in response to a stimulus. A stimulus can be, e.g., a molecule, such as a protein, hormone, cytokine, heavy metal, phorbol ester, cyclic AMP (cAMP), or retinoic acid.

[0097] Regulatory elements are typically bound by proteins, e.g., transcription factors. The term “transcription factor” is intended to include proteins or modified forms thereof, which interact preferentially with specific nucleic acid sequences, i.e., regulatory elements, and which in appropriate conditions stimulate or repress transcription. Some transcription factors are active when they are in the form of a monomer. Alternatively, other transcription factors are active in the form of a dimer consisting of two identical proteins or different proteins (heterodimer). Modified forms of transcription factors are intended to refer to transcription factors having a postranslational modification, such as the attachment of a phosphate group. The activity of a transcription factor is frequently modulated by a postranslational modification. For example, certain transcription factors are active only if they are phosphorylated on specific residues. Alternatively, transcription factors can be active in the absence of phosphorylated residues and become inactivated by phosphorylation. A list of known transcription factors and their DNA binding site can be found, e.g., in public databases, e.g., TFMATRIX Transcription Factor Binding Site Profile database.

[0098] The term “single nucleotide polymorphism” (SNP) refers to a polymorphic site occupied by a single nucleotide, which is the site of variation between allelic sequences. The site is usually preceded by and followed by highly conserved sequences of the allele (e.g., sequences that vary in less than 1/100 or 1/1000 members of a population). A SNP usually arises due to substitution of one nucleotide for another at the polymorphic site. SNPs can also arise from a deletion of a nucleotide or an insertion of a nucleotide relative to a reference allele. Typically the polymorphic site is occupied by a base other than the reference base. For example, where the reference allele contains the base “T” (thymidine) at the polymorphic site, the altered allele can contain a “C” (cytidine), “G” (guanine), or “A” (adenine) at the polymorphic site.

[0099] SNP's may occur in protein-coding nucleic acid sequences, in which case they may give rise to a defective or otherwise variant protein, or genetic disease. Such a SNP may alter the coding sequence of the gene and therefore specify another amino acid (a “missense” SNP) or a SNP may introduce a stop codon (a “nonsense” SNP). When a SNP does not alter the amino acid sequence of a protein, the SNP is called “silent.” SNP's may also occur in noncoding regions of the nucleotide sequence. This may result in defective protein expression, e.g., as a result of alternative spicing, or it may have no effect.

[0100] As used herein, the term “specifically hybridizes” or “specifically detects” refers to the ability of a nucleic acid molecule of the invention to hybridize to at least approximately 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130 or 140 consecutive nucleotides of either strand of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene.

[0101] As used herein, the term “transfection” means the introduction of a nucleic acid, e.g., an expression vector, into a recipient cell by nucleic acid-mediated gene transfer. The term “transduction” is generally used herein when the transfection with a nucleic acid is by viral delivery of the nucleic acid. “Transformation”, as used herein, refers to a process in which a cell's genotype is changed as a result of the cellular uptake of exogenous DNA or RNA, and, for example, the transformed cell expresses a recombinant form of a polypeptide or, in the case of anti-sense expression from the transferred gene, the expression of a naturally-occurring form of the recombinant protein is disrupted.

[0102] As used herein, the term “transgene” refers to a nucleic acid sequence which has been genetic-engineered into a cell. Daughter cells deriving from a cell in which a transgene has been introduced are also said to contain the transgene (unless it has been deleted). A transgene can encode, e.g., a polypeptide, or an antisense transcript, partly or entirely heterologous, i.e., foreign, to the transgenic animal or cell into which it is introduced, or, is homologous to an endogenous gene of the transgenic animal or cell into which it is introduced, but which is designed to be inserted, or is inserted, into the animal's genome in such a way as to alter the genome of the cell into which it is inserted (e.g., it is inserted at a location which differs from that of the natural gene or its insertion results in a knockout). Alternatively, a transgene can also be present in an episome. A transgene can include one or more transcriptional regulatory sequence and any other nucleic acid, (e.g. intron), that may be necessary for optimal expression of a selected nucleic acid.

[0103] A “transgenic animal” refers to any animal, preferably a non-human animal, e.g. a mammal, bird or an amphibian, in which one or more of the cells of the animal contain heterologous nucleic acid introduced by genetic engineering, such as by transgenic techniques well known in the art. The nucleic acid is introduced into the cell, directly or indirectly by introduction into a precursor of the cell, by way of deliberate genetic manipulation, such as by microinjection or by infection with a recombinant virus. The term genetic manipulation does not include classical cross-breeding, or in vitro fertilization, but rather is directed to the introduction of a recombinant DNA molecule. This molecule may be integrated within a chromosome, or it may be extrachromosomally replicating DNA. In the typical transgenic animals described herein, the transgene causes cells to express a recombinant form of one of a protein, e.g. either agonistic or antagonistic forms. However, transgenic animals in which the recombinant gene is silent are also contemplated, as for example, the FLP or CRE recombinase dependent constructs described below. Moreover, “transgenic animal” also includes those recombinant animals in which gene disruption of one or more genes is caused by human intervention, including both recombination and antisense techniques.

[0104] The term “treatment”, or “treating” as used herein, is defined as the application or administration of a therapeutic agent to a subject, implementation of lifestyle changes (e.g., changes in diet or environment), administration of medication, use of medical devices, such as, but not limited to, stents, angioplasty devices, defibrillators, and surgical procedures, such as, for example, percutaneous transluminal coronary balloon angioplasty (PTCA) or laser angioplasty, implantation of a stent, or other surgical intervention, such as, for example, coronary bypass grafting (CABG), or any combination thereof, or application or administration of a therapeutic agent to an isolated tissue or cell line from a subject, who has a disease or disorder, a symptom of disease or disorder or a predisposition toward a disease or disorder, with the purpose to cure, heal, alleviate, relieve, alter, remedy, ameliorate, improve or affect the disease or disorder, the symptoms of the disease or disorder, or the predisposition toward disease.

[0105] As used herein, the term “vector” refers to a nucleic acid molecule capable of transporting or replicating another nucleic acid to which it has been linked. One type of preferred vector is an episome, i.e., a nucleic acid capable of extra-chromosomal replication. Preferred vectors are those capable of autonomous replication and/or expression of nucleic acids to which they are linked. Vectors capable of directing the expression of genes to which they are operatively-linked are referred to herein as “expression vectors”. In general, expression vectors of utility in recombinant DNA techniques are often in the form of “plasmids” which refer generally to circular double stranded DNA circles which, in their vector form are not physically linked to the host chromosome. In the present specification, “plasmid” and “vector” are used interchangeably as the plasmid is the most commonly used form of vector. However, the invention is intended to include such other forms of expression vectors which serve equivalent functions and which become known in the art subsequently hereto.

Polymorphisms Used in the Methods of the Invention

[0106] The nucleic acid molecules of the present invention include specific allelic variants of the THBS2, ACE, and FGB genes, which differ from the reference sequences set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:3, and SEQ ID NO:5, respectively, or at least a portion thereof, having a polymorphic region. The preferred nucleic acid molecules of the present invention comprise THBS2, ACE, and FGB sequences having one or more of the polymorphisms shown in Tables 1, 4, and 6 (SEQ ID NOs.:7, 8, 9, 10, and 11), and those in linkage disequilibrium therewith. The invention further comprises isolated nucleic acid molecules complementary to nucleic acid molecules comprising the polymorphisms of the present invention. Nucleic acid molecules of the present invention can function as probes or primers, e.g., in methods for determining the allelic identity of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB polymorphic region. The nucleic acids of the invention can also be used, singly, or in combination, to determine whether a subject is or is not at risk of developing a disease associated with a specific allelic variant of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB polymorphic region, e.g., a vascular disease or disorder. The nucleic acids of the invention can further be used to prepare or express THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides encoded by specific alleles, such as mutant alleles. Such nucleic acids can be used in gene therapy. Polypeptides encoded by specific THBS2, ACE, or FGB alleles, such as mutant THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides, can also be used in therapy or for preparing reagents, e.g., antibodies, for detecting THBS2, ACE, or FGB proteins encoded by these alleles. Accordingly, such reagents can be used to detect mutant THBS2, ACE, or FGB proteins.

[0107] As described herein, allelic variants of human THBS2, ACE, or FGB genes have been identified. The invention is intended to encompass these allelic variants as well as, those in linkage disequilibrium which can be identified, e.g., according to the methods described herein. “Linkage disequilibrium” refers to an association between specific alleles at two marker loci within a particular population. In general, linkage disequilibrium decreases with an increase in physical distance. If linkage disequilibrium exists between two markers, then the genotypic information at one marker can be used to make predictions about the genotype of the second marker.

[0108] The invention also provides isolated nucleic acids comprising at least one polymorphic region of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene having a nucleotide sequence which differs from the reference nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:3, or SEQ ID NO:5 respectively. Preferred nucleic acids have a variant allele located in the coding region of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene, the upstream regulatory element, an exon, or in the 3′ UTR of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene. Accordingly, preferred nucleic acids of the invention comprise a guanine at residue 3949 of GI 307505, and/or a cytidine at residue 4476 of GI 307505 (as set forth in SEQ ID NO:1), or the complement thereof, and/or a guanine at residue 455299 of GI 13027555 (as set forth in SEQ ID NO:3), or the complement thereof, and/or a thymidine at residue 5119 of GI 182597, and/or an adenine at residue 8059 of GI 182597 (set forth herein as SEQ ID NO:5). Preferred nucleic acids used in combination in the methods of the invention to predict decreased risk of vascular diseases or disorders comprise “pattern 1,” which comprises two copies of the variant allele of G5755e9 (CC) in combination with two copies of the reference allele of G5755e5 (TT) or “pattern 2”, which comprises two copies of the reference allele of G5755e9 (TT) and two copies of the variant allele of G5755e5 (GG) is at approximately 3-fold decreased odds of vascular disease.

[0109] Other preferred nucleic acids used in the methods of the invention to predict decreased risk of vascular diseases or disorders comprise one copy of an A and one copy of a G at nucleotide residue 86408 of the ACE reference sequence GI 13027555 (AG genotype) is at a decreased risk for vascular disease.

[0110] Still other preferred nucleic acids used in the methods of the invention to predict decreased risk of vascular diseases or disorders comprise two copies of a T at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597 is at a decreased risk for vascular disease, e.g., CAD and MI. A subject having one copy of a T and one copy of a C at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597 is also at a decreased risk for vascular disease, e.g., CAD and MI.

[0111] Other preferred nucleic acids used in the methods of the invention to predict decreased risk of vascular diseases or disorders comprise two copies of an A at nucleotide residue 8059 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597 is at a decreased risk for vascular disease. A subject having one copy of an A and one copy of a G at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597 is also at a decreased risk for vascular disease (see Example 1, below).

[0112] The nucleic acid molecules of the present invention can be single stranded DNA (e.g., an oligonucleotide), double stranded DNA (e.g., double stranded oligonucleotide) or RNA. Preferred nucleic acid molecules of the invention can be used as probes or primers. Primers of the invention refer to nucleic acids which hybridize to a nucleic acid sequence which is adjacent to the region of interest or which covers the region of interest and is extended. As used herein, the term “hybridizes” is intended to describe conditions for hybridization and washing under which nucleotide sequences that are significantly identical or homologous to each other remain hybridized to each other. Preferably, the conditions are such that sequences at least about 70%, more preferably at least about 80%, even more preferably at least about 85% or 90% identical to each other remain hybridized to each other. Such stringent conditions vary according to the length of the involved nucleotide sequence but are known to those skilled in the art and can be found or determined based on teachings in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Ausubel et al., eds., John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (1995), sections 2, 4 and 6. Additional stringent conditions and formulas for determining such conditions can be found in Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Sambrook et al., Cold Spring Harbor Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. (1989), chapters 7, 9 and 11. A preferred, non-limiting example of stringent hybridization conditions for hybrids that are at least basepairs in length includes hybridization in 4× sodium chloride/sodium citrate (SSC), at about 65-70° C. (or hybridization in 4×SSC plus 50% formamide at about 42-50° C.) followed by one or more washes in 1×SSC, at about 65-70° C. A preferred, non-limiting example of highly stringent hybridization conditions for such hybrids includes hybridization in 1×SSC, at about 65-70° C. (or hybridization in 1×SSC plus 50% formamide at about 42-50° C.) followed by one or more washes in 0.3×SSC, at about 65-70° C. A preferred, non-limiting example of reduced stringency hybridization conditions for such hybrids includes hybridization in 4×SSC, at about 50-60° C. (or alternatively hybridization in 6×SSC plus 50% formamide at about 40-45° C.) followed by one or more washes in 2×SSC, at about 50-60° C. Ranges intermediate to the above-recited values, e.g., at 65-70° C. or at 42-50° C. are also intended to be encompassed by the present invention. SSPE (1×SSPE is 0.15M NaCl, 10 mM NaH₂PO₄, and 1.25 mM EDTA, pH 7.4) can be substituted for SSC (1×SSC is 0.15M NaCl and 15 mM sodium citrate) in the hybridization and wash buffers; washes are performed for 15 minutes each after hybridization is complete.

[0113] The hybridization temperature for hybrids anticipated to be less than 50 base pairs in length should be 5-10° C. less than the melting temperature (T_(m)) of the hybrid, where T_(m) is determined according to the following equations. For hybrids less than 18 base pairs in length, T_(m)(° C.) =2(# of A+T bases)+4(# of G+C bases). For hybrids between 18 and 49 base pairs in length, T_(m)(° C.)=81.5+16.6(log₁₀[Na⁺])+0.41(%G+C)−(600/N), where N is the number of bases in the hybrid, and [Na⁺] is the concentration of sodium ions in the hybridization buffer ([Na⁺] for 1×SSC=0.165 M). It will also be recognized by the skilled practitioner that additional reagents may be added to hybridization and/or wash buffers to decrease non-specific hybridization of nucleic acid molecules to membranes, for example, nitrocellulose or nylon membranes, including but not limited to blocking agents (e.g., BSA or salmon or herring sperm carrier DNA), detergents (e.g., SDS), chelating agents (e.g., EDTA), Ficoll, PVP and the like. When using nylon membranes, in particular, an additional preferred, non-limiting example of stringent hybridization conditions is hybridization in 0.25-0.5M NaH₂PO₄, 7% SDS at about 65° C., followed by one or more washes at 0.02M NaH₂PO₄, 1% SDS at 65° C., see e.g., Church and Gilbert (1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81:1991-1995, (or alternatively 0.2×SSC, 1% SDS).

[0114] A primer or probe can be used alone in a detection method, or a primer can be used together with at least one other primer or probe in a detection method. Primers can also be used to amplify at least a portion of a nucleic acid. Probes of the invention refer to nucleic acids which hybridize to the region of interest and which are not further extended. For example, a probe is a nucleic acid which specifically hybridizes to a polymorphic region of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene, and which by hybridization or absence of hybridization to the DNA of a subject or the type of hybrid formed will be indicative of the identity of the allelic variant of the polymorphic region of the THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene.

[0115] Numerous procedures for determining the nucleotide sequence of a nucleic acid molecule, or for determining the presence of mutations in nucleic acid molecules include a nucleic acid amplification step, which can be carried out by, e.g., polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Accordingly, in one embodiment, the invention provides primers for amplifying portions of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene, such as portions of exons and/or portions of introns. In a preferred embodiment, the exons and/or sequences adjacent to the exons of the human THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene will be amplified to, e.g., detect which allelic variant, if any, of a polymorphic region is present in the THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene of a subject. Preferred primers comprise a nucleotide sequence complementary a specific allelic variant of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB polymorphic region and of sufficient length to selectively hybridize with a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene. In a preferred embodiment, the primer, e.g., a substantially purified oligonucleotide, comprises a region having a nucleotide sequence which hybridizes under stringent conditions to about 6, 8, 10, or 12, preferably 25, 30, 40, 50, or 75 consecutive nucleotides of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene. In an even more preferred embodiment, the primer is capable of hybridizing to a THBS2, ACE, or FGB nucleotide sequence, complements thereof, allelic variants thereof, or complements of allelic variants thereof. For example, primers comprising a nucleotide sequence of at least about 8, 10, 12, or 15 consecutive nucleotides, at least about 25 nucleotides or having from about 15 to about 20 nucleotides set forth in any of SEQ ID NOs:7, 8, 9, 10, or 11, or complement thereof are provided by the invention. Primers having a sequence of more than about 25 nucleotides are also within the scope of the invention. Preferred primers of the invention are primers that can be used in PCR for amplifying each of the exons of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene.

[0116] Primers can be complementary to nucleotide sequences located close to each other or further apart, depending on the use of the amplified DNA. For example, primers can be chosen such that they amplify DNA fragments of at least about 10 nucleotides or as much as several kilobases. Preferably, the primers of the invention will hybridize selectively to THBS2, ACE, or FGB nucleotide sequences located about 150 to about 350 nucleotides apart.

[0117] For amplifying at least a portion of a nucleic acid, a forward primer (i.e., 5′ primer) and a reverse primer (i.e., 3′ primer) will preferably be used. Forward and reverse primers hybridize to complementary strands of a double stranded nucleic acid, such that upon extension from each primer, a double stranded nucleic acid is amplified. A forward primer can be a primer having a nucleotide sequence or a portion of the nucleotide sequence shown in Tables 1, 4, and 6 (e.g., SEQ ID NOs.:7, 8, 9, 10, and 11). A reverse primer can be a primer having a nucleotide sequence or a portion of the nucleotide sequence that is complementary to a nucleotide sequence shown in Tables 1, 4, and 6 (e.g., SEQ ID NOs.:7, 8, 9, 10, and 11).

[0118] Yet other preferred primers of the invention are nucleic acids which are capable of selectively hybridizing to an allelic variant of a polymorphic region of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene. Thus, such primers can be specific for a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene sequence, so long as they have a nucleotide sequence which is capable of hybridizing to a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene. Preferred primers are capable of specifically hybridizing to any of the allelic variants listed in Tables 1, 4, and 6. Such primers can be used, e.g., in sequence specific oligonucleotide priming as described further herein.

[0119] Other preferred primers used in the methods of the invention are nucleic acids which are capable of hybridizing to the reference sequence of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene, thereby detecting the presence of the reference allele of an allelic variant or the absence of a variant allele in the THBS2, ACE, or FGB genes and primers capable of hybridizing to the variant sequence of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene. Such primers can be used in combination, e.g., primers specific for the alleles of pattern 1 or pattern 2, as described herein. The sequences of primers specific for the reference sequences comprising the THBS2, ACE, or FGB genes will be readily apparent to one of skill in the art.

[0120] The THBS2, ACE, or FGB nucleic acids of the invention can also be used as probes, e.g., in therapeutic and diagnostic assays. For instance, the present invention provides a probe comprising a substantially purified oligonucleotide, which oligonucleotide comprises a region having a nucleotide sequence that is capable of hybridizing specifically to a region of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene which is polymorphic (e.g., SEQ ID NOs.:7, 8, 9, 10, and 11, or a portion thereof). In an even more preferred embodiment of the invention, the probes are capable of hybridizing specifically to one allelic variant of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene having a nucleotide sequence which differs from the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 1, 3, or 5. Such probes can then be used to specifically detect which allelic variant of a polymorphic region of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene is present in a subject. The polymorphic region can be located in the 5′ upstream regulatory element, exon, or intron sequences of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene.

[0121] Particularly, preferred probes of the invention have a number of nucleotides sufficient to allow specific hybridization to the target nucleotide sequence. Where the target nucleotide sequence is present in a large fragment of DNA, such as a genomic DNA fragment of several tens or hundreds of kilobases, the size of the probe may have to be longer to provide sufficiently specific hybridization, as compared to a probe which is used to detect a target sequence which is present in a shorter fragment of DNA. For example, in some diagnostic methods, a portion of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene may first be amplified and thus isolated from the rest of the chromosomal DNA and then hybridized to a probe. In such a situation, a shorter probe will likely provide sufficient specificity of hybridization. For example, a probe having a nucleotide sequence of about 10 nucleotides may be sufficient.

[0122] In preferred embodiments, the probe or primer further comprises a label attached thereto, which, e.g., is capable of being detected, e.g. the label group is selected from amongst radioisotopes, fluorescent compounds, enzymes, and enzyme co-factors.

[0123] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the isolated nucleic acid, which is used, e.g., as a probe or a primer, is modified, so as to be more stable than naturally occurring nucleotides. Exemplary nucleic acid molecules which are modified include phosphoramidate, phosphothioate and methylphosphonate analogs of DNA (see also U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,176,996; 5,264,564; and 5,256,775).

[0124] The nucleic acids of the invention can also be modified at the base moiety, sugar moiety, or phosphate backbone, for example, to improve stability of the molecule. The nucleic acids, e.g., probes or primers, may include other appended groups such as peptides (e.g., for targeting host cell receptors in vivo), or agents facilitating transport across the cell membrane (see, e.g., Letsinger et al., (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 86:6553-6556; Lemaitre et al., (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 84:648-652; PCT Publication No. WO88/09810, published Dec. 15, 1988), hybridization-triggered cleavage agents. (See, e.g., Krol et al., (1988) Bio Techniques 6:958-976) or intercalating agents (See, e.g., Zon, (1988) Pharm. Res. 5:539-549). To this end, the nucleic acid of the invention may be conjugated to another molecule, e.g., a peptide, hybridization triggered cross-linking agent, transport agent, hybridization-triggered cleavage agent, etc.

[0125] The isolated nucleic acid comprising a THBS2, ACE, or FGB intronic sequence may comprise at least one modified base moiety which is selected from the group including but not limited to 5-fluorouracil, 5-bromouracil, 5-chlorouracil, 5-iodouracil, hypoxanthine, xantine, 4-acetylcytidine, 5-(carboxyhydroxymethyl) uracil, 5-carboxymethylaminomethyl-2-thiouridine, 5-carboxymethylaminomethyluracil, dihydrouracil, beta-D-galactosylqueosine, inosine, N6-isopentenyladenine, 1-methylguanine, 1-methylinosine, 2,2-dimethylguanine, 2-methyladenine, 2-methylguanine, 3-methylcytidine, 5-methylcytidine, N6-adenine, 7-methylguanine, 5-methylaminomethyluracil, 5-methoxyaminomethyl-2-thiouracil, beta-D-mannosylqueosine, 5′-methoxycarboxymethyluracil, 5-methoxyuracil, 2-methylthio-N6-isopentenyladenine, uracil-5-oxyacetic acid (v), wybutoxosine, pseudouracil, queosine, 2-thiocytidine, 5-methyl-2-thiouracil, 2-thiouracil, 4-thiouracil, 5-methyluracil, uracil-5-oxyacetic acid methylester, uracil-5-oxyacetic acid (v), 5-methyl-2-thiouracil, 3-(3-amino-3-N-2-carboxypropyl) uracil, (acp3)w, and 2,6-diaminopurine.

[0126] The isolated nucleic acid may also comprise at least one modified sugar moiety selected from the group including but not limited to arabinose, 2-fluoroarabinose, xylulose, and hexose.

[0127] In yet another embodiment, the nucleic acid comprises at least one modified phosphate backbone selected from the group consisting of a phosphorothioate, a phosphorodithioate, a phosphoramidothioate, a phosphoramidate, a phosphordiamidate, a methylphosphonate, an alkyl phosphotriester, and a formacetal or analog thereof.

[0128] In yet a further embodiment, the nucleic acid is an α-anomeric oligonucleotide. An α-anomeric oligonucleotide forms specific double-stranded hybrids with complementary RNA in which, contrary to the usual β-units, the strands run parallel to each other (Gautier et al., 1987, Nucl. Acids Res. 15:6625-6641). The oligonucleotide is a 2′-0-methylribonucleotide (Inoue et al., (1987) Nucl. Acids Res. 15:6131-6148), or a chimeric RNA-DNA analogue (Inoue et al., (1987) FEBS Lett. 215:327-330).

[0129] Any nucleic acid fragment of the invention can be prepared according to methods well known in the art and described, e.g., in Sambrook, J. Fritsch, E. F., and Maniatis, T. (1989) Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. For example, discrete fragments of the DNA can be prepared and cloned using restriction enzymes. Alternatively, discrete fragments can be prepared using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) using primers having an appropriate sequence.

[0130] Oligonucleotides of the invention may be synthesized by standard methods known in the art, e.g. by use of an automated DNA synthesizer (such as are commercially available from Biosearch, Applied Biosystems, etc.). As examples, phosphorothioate oligonucleotides may be synthesized by the method of Stein et al. ((1988) Nucl. Acids Res. 16:3209), methylphosphonate oligonucleotides can be prepared by use of controlled pore glass polymer supports (Sarin et al., (1988), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 85:7448-7451), etc.

[0131] The invention also provides vectors and plasmids comprising the nucleic acids of the invention. For example, in one embodiment, the invention provides a vector comprising at least a portion of the THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene comprising a polymorphic region. Thus, the invention provides vectors for expressing at least a portion of the newly identified allelic variants of the human THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene, as well as other allelic variants, comprising a nucleotide sequence which is different from the nucleotide sequence disclosed in GI 307505, GI 13027555, or GI 182597, respectively. The allelic variants can be expressed in eukaryotic cells, e.g., cells of a subject, or in prokaryotic cells.

[0132] In one embodiment, the vector comprising at least a portion of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB allele is introduced into a host cell, such that a protein encoded by the allele is synthesized. The THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein produced can be used, e.g., for the production of antibodies, which can be used, e.g., in methods for detecting mutant forms of THBS2, ACE, or FGB. Alternatively, the vector can be used for gene therapy, and be, e.g., introduced into a subject to produce THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein. Host cells comprising a vector having at least a portion of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene are also within the scope of the invention.

Polypeptides of the Invention

[0133] The present invention provides isolated THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides, such as THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides which are encoded by specific allelic variants of THBS2, ACE, or FGB, including those identified herein, e.g., proteins encoded by nucleic acids which differ from the reference sequence of THBS2, ACE, or FGB, or a portion thereof, as set forth herein. The amino acid sequences of the THBS2, ACE, or FGB proteins have been deduced. The THBS2 gene encodes a 1,172 amino acid protein and is described in, for example, LaBelle, et al. (1993) Genomics 17(1):225. The ACE gene encodes a 1,306 amino acid protein and is described in, for example, Rieder M. J. et al. (1999) Nature Genetics (22)1:59. The FGB gene encodes a 491 amino acid protein and is described in, for example, Chung, et al. (1983) Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 408, 449-456.

[0134] As shown in Table 6, one polymorphism in the FGB gene found in the population screened results in a change in the amino acid sequence of the FGB protein. The FGBu4 SNP is a change from a G to an A at nucleotide residue 8059 of the reference sequence GI 182597, which results in a change from an arginine (R) to a lysine (K) at amino acid 478 of GI 11761631, the reference sequence for the FGB protein.

[0135] In one embodiment, the THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides are isolated from, or otherwise substantially free of other cellular proteins. The term “substantially free of other cellular proteins” (also referred to herein as “contaminating proteins”) or “substantially pure or purified preparations” are defined as encompassing preparations of THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides having less than about 20% (by dry weight) contaminating protein, and preferably having less than about 5% contaminating protein. It will be appreciated that functional forms of the subject polypeptides can be prepared, for the first time, as purified preparations by using a cloned gene as described herein.

[0136] Preferred THBS2, ACE, or FGB proteins of the invention have an amino acid sequence which is at least about 60%, 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95% identical or homologous to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:4, or SEQ ID NO:6, respectively. Even more preferred THBS2, ACE, or FGB proteins comprise an amino acid sequence which is at least about 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% homologous or identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:4, or SEQ ID NO:6, respectively. Such proteins can be recombinant proteins, and can be, e.g., produced in vitro from nucleic acids comprising a specific allele of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB polymorphic region. For example, recombinant polypeptides preferred by the present invention can be encoded by a nucleic acid which comprises a sequence which is at least 85% homologous and more preferably 90% homologous and most preferably 95% homologous with a nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 1, 3, or 5 and comprises an allele of a polymorphic region that differs from that set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 1, 3, or 5. Polypeptides which are encoded by a nucleic acid comprising a sequence that is at least about 98-99% homologous with the sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 1, 3, or 5 and comprises an allele of a polymorphic region that differs from that set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 1, 3, or 5 are also within the scope of the invention.

[0137] In a preferred embodiment, a THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein of the present invention is a mammalian THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein. In an even more preferred embodiment, the THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein is a human protein.

[0138] The invention also provides peptides that preferably are capable of functioning in one of either role of an agonist or antagonist of at least one biological activity of a reference (“normal”) THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein of the appended sequence listing. The term “evolutionarily related to,” with respect to amino acid sequences of THBS2, ACE, or FGB proteins, refers to both polypeptides having amino acid sequences found in human populations, and also to artificially produced mutational variants of human THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides which are derived, for example, by combinatorial mutagenesis.

[0139] Full length proteins or fragments corresponding to one or more particular motifs and/or domains or to arbitrary sizes, for example, at least 5, 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100, amino acids in length of THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein are within the scope of the present invention.

[0140] Isolated THBS2, ACE, or FGB peptides or polypeptides can be obtained by screening peptides recombinantly produced from the corresponding fragment of the nucleic acid encoding such peptides. In addition, such peptides and polypeptides can be chemically synthesized using techniques known in the art such as conventional Merrifield solid phase f-Moc or t-Boc chemistry. For example, a THBS2, ACE, or FGB peptide or polypeptide of the present invention may be arbitrarily divided into fragments of desired length with no overlap of the fragments, or preferably divided into overlapping fragments of a desired length. The fragments can be produced (recombinantly or by chemical synthesis) and tested to identify those peptides or polypeptides which can function as either agonists or antagonists of a wild-type (e.g., “normal”) THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein.

[0141] In general, peptides and polypeptides referred to herein as having an activity (e.g., are “bioactive”) of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein are defined as peptides and polypeptides which mimic or antagonize all or a portion of the biological/biochemical activities of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein having SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:4, or SEQ ID NO:6, respectively, such as the ability to bind ligands. Other biological activities of the subject THBS2, ACE, or FGB proteins are described herein or will be reasonably apparent to those skilled in the art. According to the present invention, a peptide or polypeptide has biological activity if it is a specific agonist or antagonist of a naturally-occurring form of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein.

[0142] Assays for determining whether a THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein or variant thereof, has one or more biological activities are well known in the art.

[0143] Other preferred proteins of the invention are those encoded by the nucleic acids set forth in the section pertaining to nucleic acids of the invention. In particular, the invention provides fusion proteins, e.g., THBS2, ACE, or FGB-immunoglobulin fusion proteins. Such fusion proteins can provide, e.g., enhanced stability and solubility of THBS2, ACE, or FGB proteins and may thus be useful in therapy. Fusion proteins can also be used to produce an immunogenic fragment of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein. For example, the VP6 capsid protein of rotavirus can be used as an immunologic carrier protein for portions of the THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptide, either in the monomeric form or in the form of a viral particle. The nucleic acid sequences corresponding to the portion of a subject THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein to which antibodies are to be raised can be incorporated into a fusion gene construct which includes coding sequences for a late vaccinia virus structural protein to produce a set of recombinant viruses expressing fusion proteins comprising THBS2, ACE, or FGB epitopes as part of the virion. It has been demonstrated with the use of immunogenic fusion proteins utilizing the Hepatitis B surface antigen fusion proteins that recombinant Hepatitis B virions can be utilized in this role as well. Similarly, chimeric constructs coding for fusion proteins containing a portion of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein and the poliovirus capsid protein can be created to enhance immunogenicity of the set of polypeptide antigens (see, for example, EP Publication No: 0259149; and Evans et al. (1989) Nature 339:385; Huang et al. (1988) J. Virol. 62:3855; and Schlienger et al. (1992) J. Virol. 66:2).

[0144] The Multiple antigen peptide system for peptide-based immunization can also be utilized to generate an immunogen, wherein a desired portion of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptide is obtained directly from organo-chemical synthesis of the peptide onto an oligomeric branching lysine core (see, for example, Posnett et al. (1988) JBC 263:1719 and Nardelli et al. (1992) J. Immunol. 148:914). Antigenic determinants of THBS2, ACE, or FGB proteins can also be expressed and presented by bacterial cells.

[0145] Fusion proteins can also facilitate the expression of proteins including the THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides of the present invention. For example, THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides can be generated as glutathione-S-transferase (GST-fusion) proteins. Such GST-fusion proteins can be easily purified, as for example by the use of glutathione-derivatized matrices (see, for example, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, eds. Ausubel et al. (N.Y.: John Wiley & Sons, 1991)) and used subsequently to yield purified THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides.

[0146] The present invention further pertains to methods of producing the subject THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides. For example, a host cell transfected with a nucleic acid vector directing expression of a nucleotide sequence encoding the subject polypeptides can be cultured under appropriate conditions to allow expression of the peptide to occur. Suitable media for cell culture are well known in the art. The recombinant THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptide can be isolated from cell culture medium, host cells, or both using techniques known in the art for purifying proteins including ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography, ultrafiltration, electrophoresis, and immunoaffinity purification with antibodies specific for such peptide. In a preferred embodiment, the recombinant THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptide is a fusion protein containing a domain which facilitates its purification, such as GST fusion protein.

[0147] Moreover, it will be generally appreciated that, under certain circumstances, it may be advantageous to provide homologs of one of the subject THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides which function in a limited capacity as one of either a THBS2, ACE, or FGB agonist (mimetic) or a THBS2, ACE, or FGB antagonist, in order to promote or inhibit only a subset of the biological activities of the naturally-occurring form of the protein. Thus, specific biological effects can be elicited by treatment with a homolog of limited function, and with fewer side effects relative to treatment with agonists or antagonists which are directed to all of the biological activities of naturally occurring forms of THBS2, ACE, or FGB proteins.

[0148] Homologs of each of the subject THBS2, ACE, or FGB proteins can be generated by mutagenesis, such as by discrete point mutation(s), and/or by truncation. For instance, mutation can give rise to homologs which retain substantially the same, or merely a subset, of the biological activity of the THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptide from which it was derived. Alternatively, antagonistic forms of the protein can be generated which are able to inhibit the function of the naturally occurring form of the protein, such as by competitively binding to a THBS2, ACE, or FGB receptor.

[0149] The recombinant THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides of the present invention also include homologs of THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides which differ from the THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein having SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:4, or SEQ ID NO:6, respectively, such as versions of the protein which are resistant to proteolytic cleavage, as for example, due to mutations which alter ubiquitination or other enzymatic targeting associated with the protein.

[0150] THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides may also be chemically modified to create THBS2, ACE, or FGB derivatives by forming covalent or aggregate conjugates with other chemical moieties, such as glycosyl groups, lipids, phosphate, acetyl groups and the like. Covalent derivatives of THBS2, ACE, or FGB proteins can be prepared by linking the chemical moieties to functional groups on amino acid side-chains of the protein or at the N-terminus or at the C-terminus of the polypeptide.

[0151] Modification of the structure of the subject THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides can be for such purposes as enhancing therapeutic or prophylactic efficacy, stability (e.g., ex vivo shelf life and resistance to proteolytic degradation), or post-translational modifications (e.g., to alter phosphorylation pattern of protein). Such modified peptides, when designed to retain at least one activity of the naturally-occurring form of the protein, or to produce specific antagonists thereof, are considered functional equivalents of the THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides described in more detail herein. Such modified peptides can be produced, for instance, by amino acid substitution, deletion, or addition. The substitutional variant may be a substituted conserved amino acid or a substituted non-conserved amino acid.

[0152] For example, it is reasonable to expect that an isolated replacement of a leucine with an isoleucine or valine, an aspartate with a glutamate, a threonine with a serine, or a similar replacement of an amino acid with a structurally related amino acid (i.e., isosteric and/or isoelectric mutations) will not have a major effect on the biological activity of the resulting molecule. Conservative replacements are those that take place within a family of amino acids that are related in their side chains. Genetically encoded amino acids can be divided into four families: (1) acidic=aspartate, glutamate; (2) basic=lysine, arginine, histidine; (3) nonpolar=alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan; and (4) uncharged polar=glycine, asparagine, glutamine, cysteine, serine, threonine, tyrosine. In similar fashion, the amino acid repertoire can be grouped as (1) acidic=aspartate, glutamate; (2) basic=lysine, arginine histidine, (3) aliphatic=glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, serine, threonine, with serine and threonine optionally be grouped separately as aliphatic-hydroxyl; (4) aromatic=phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan; (5) amide=asparagine, glutamine; and (6) sulfur−containing=cysteine and methionine. (see, for example, Biochemistry, 2^(nd) ed., Ed. by L. Stryer, WH Freeman and Co.: 1981). Whether a change in the amino acid sequence of a peptide results in a functional THBS2, ACE, or FGB homolog (e.g., functional in the sense that the resulting polypeptide mimics or antagonizes the wild-type form) can be readily determined by assessing the ability of the variant peptide to produce a response in cells in a fashion similar to the wild-type protein, or competitively inhibit such a response. Polypeptides in which more than one replacement has taken place can readily be tested in the same manner.

Methods

[0153] The invention further provides predictive medicine methods, which are based, at least in part, on the discovery of THBS2, ACE, or FGB polymorphic regions which are associated with specific physiological states and/or diseases or disorders, e.g., vascular diseases or disorders such as CAD and MI. These methods can be used alone, or in combination with other predictive medicine methods, including the identification and analysis of known risk factors associated with vascular disease, e.g., phenotypic factors such as, for example, obesity, diabetes, and/or family history.

[0154] For example, information obtained using the diagnostic assays described herein (singly or in combination with information of another genetic defect which contributes to the same disease, e.g., a vascular disease or disorder) is useful for diagnosing or confirming that a subject has an allele of a polymorphic region which is associated with a particular disease or disorder, e.g., a vascular disease or disorder. Moreover, the information obtained using the diagnostic assays described herein, singly or in combination with information of another genetic defect which contributes to the same disease, e.g., a vascular disease or disorder, can be used to predict whether or not a subject will benefit from further diagnostic evaluation for a vascular disease or disorder. Such further diagnostic evaluation includes, but is not limited to, cardiovascular imaging, such as angiography, cardiac ultrasound, coronary angiogram, magnetic resonance imagery, nuclear imaging, CT scan, myocardial perfusion imagery, or electrocardiogram, genetic analysis, e.g., identification of additional polymorphisms, e.g., which contribute to the same disease, familial health history analysis, lifestyle analysis, or exercise stress tests, either alone or in combination. Furthermore, the diagnostic information obtained using the diagnostic assays described herein (singly or in combination with information of another genetic defect which contributes to the same disease, e.g., a vascular disease or disorder), may be used to identify which subject will benefit from a particular clinical course of therapy useful for preventing, treating, ameliorating, or prolonging onset of the particular vascular disease or disorder in the particular subject. Clinical courses of therapy include, but are not limited to, administration of medication, non-surgical intervention, surgical intervention or procedures, and use of surgical and non-surgical medical devices used in the treatment of vascular disease, such as, for example, stents or defibrillators.

[0155] Alternatively, the information, singly, or in combination with information of another genetic defect which contributes to the same disease, e.g., a vascular disease or disorder, can be used prognostically for predicting whether a non-symptomatic subject is likely to develop a disease or condition which is associated with one or more specific alleles of THBS2, ACE, or FGB polymorphic regions in a subject. Based on the prognostic information, a health care provider can recommend a particular further diagnostic evaluation which will benefit the subject, or a particular clinical course of therapy, as described above.

[0156] In addition, knowledge of the identity of a particular THBS2, ACE, or FGB allele in a subject (the THBS2, ACE, or FGB genetic profile), singly, or in combination, allows customization of further diagnostic evaluation and/or a clinical course of therapy for a particular disease. For example, a subject's THBS2, ACE, or FGB genetic profile or the genetic profile of a disease or disorder associated with a specific allele of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB polymorphic region, e.g., a vascular disease or disorder, can enable a health care provider: 1) to more efficiently and cost-effectively identify means for further diagnostic evaluation, including, but not limited to, further genetic analysis, familial health history analysis, or use of vascular imaging devices; 2) to more effectively prescribe a drug that will address the molecular basis of the disease or condition; 3) to more efficiently and cost-effectively identify an appropriate clinical course of therapy, including, but not limited to, lifestyle changes, medications, surgical or non-surgical devices, surgical or non-surgical intervention, or any combination thereof; and 4) to better determine the appropriate dosage of a particular drug or duration of a particular course of clinical therapy. For example, the expression level of THBS2, ACE, or FGB proteins, alone or in conjunction with the expression level of other genes, known to contribute to the same disease, can be measured in many subjects at various stages of the disease to generate a transcriptional or expression profile of the disease. Expression patterns of individual subjects can then be compared to the expression profile of the disease to determine the appropriate drug, dose to administer to the subject, or course of clinical therapy.

[0157] The ability to target populations expected to show the highest clinical benefit, based on the THBS2, ACE, or FGB or disease genetic profile, can enable: 1) the repositioning of marketed drugs, surgical devices for use in treating, preventing, or ameliorating vascular diseases or disorders, or diagnostics, such as vascular imaging devices, with disappointing market results; 2) the rescue of drug candidates whose clinical development has been discontinued as a result of safety or efficacy limitations, which are subject subgroup-specific; 3) an accelerated and less costly development for drug candidates and more optimal drug labeling (e.g., since the use of THBS2, ACE, or FGB as a marker is useful for optimizing effective dose); and 4) an accelerated, less costly, and more effective selection of a particular course of clinical therapy suited to a particular subject.

[0158] These and other methods are described in further detail in the following sections.

[0159] A. Prognostic and Diagnostic Assays

[0160] The present methods provide means for determining if a subject is or is not at risk of developing a disease, condition or disorder that is associated a specific THBS2, ACE, or FGB allele, e.g., a vascular disease or a disease or disorder resulting therefrom.

[0161] The present invention provides methods for determining the molecular structure of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene, such as a human THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene, or a portion thereof. In one embodiment, determining the molecular structure of at least a portion of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene comprises determining the identity of an allelic variant of at least one polymorphic region of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene (determining the presence or absence of one or more of the allelic variants, or their complements, of SEQ ID NOs.:7, 8, 9, 10, and/or 11). A polymorphic region of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene can be located in an exon, an intron, at an intron/exon border, or in the 5′ upstream regulatory element of the THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene.

[0162] The invention provides methods for determining whether a subject is or is not at risk of developing a disease or disorder associated with a specific allelic variant of a polymorphic region of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene. Such diseases can be associated with aberrant THBS2, ACE, or FGB activity, e.g., a vascular disease or disorder such as CAD or MI.

[0163] Analysis of one or more THBS2, ACE, or FGB polymorphic regions in a subject can be useful for predicting whether a subject is or is not likely to develop a vascular disease or disorder, e.g., atherosclerosis, CAD, MI, ischemia, stroke, peripheral vascular diseases, venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism.

[0164] In preferred embodiments, the methods of the invention can be characterized as comprising detecting, in a sample of cells from the subject, the presence or absence of a specific allelic variant of one or more polymorphic regions of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene. Preferably, the presence of the variant allele of the THBS2, ACE, and/or FGB gene described herein are detected. The allelic differences can be: (i) a difference in the identity of at least one nucleotide or (ii) a difference in the number of nucleotides, which difference can be a single nucleotide or several nucleotides. The invention also provides methods for detecting differences in THBS2, ACE, or FGB genes such as chromosomal rearrangements, e.g., chromosomal dislocation. The invention can also be used in prenatal diagnostics.

[0165] A preferred detection method is allele specific hybridization using probes overlapping the polymorphic site and having about 5, 10, 20, 25, or 30 nucleotides around the polymorphic region. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, several probes capable of hybridizing specifically to allelic variants are attached to a solid phase support, e.g., a “chip”. Oligonucleotides can be bound to a solid support by a variety of processes, including lithography. For example a chip can hold up to 250,000 oligonucleotides (GeneChip, Affymetrix™). Mutation detection analysis using these chips comprising oligonucleotides, also termed “DNA probe arrays” is described e.g., in Cronin et al. (1996) Human Mutation 7:244. In one embodiment, a chip comprises all the allelic variants of at least one polymorphic region of a gene. The solid phase support is then contacted with a test nucleic acid and hybridization to the specific probes is detected. Accordingly, the identity of numerous allelic variants of one or more genes can be identified in a simple hybridization experiment. For example, the identity of the allelic variant of the nucleotide polymorphism in the 5′ upstream regulatory element can be determined in a single hybridization experiment.

[0166] In other detection methods, it is necessary to first amplify at least a portion of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene prior to identifying the allelic variant. Amplification can be performed, e.g., by PCR and/or LCR (see Wu and Wallace (1989) Genomics 4:560), according to methods known in the art. In one embodiment, genomic DNA of a cell is exposed to two PCR primers and amplification for a number of cycles sufficient to produce the required amount of amplified DNA. In preferred embodiments, the primers are located between 150 and 350 base pairs apart.

[0167] Alternative amplification methods include: self sustained sequence replication (Guatelli, J. C. et al., (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:1874-1878), transcriptional amplification system (Kwoh, D. Y. et al., (1989) i Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86:1173-1177), Q-Beta Replicase (Lizardi, P. M. et al., (1988) Bio/Technology 6:1197), and self-sustained sequence replication (Guatelli et al., (1989) Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. 87:1874), and nucleic acid based sequence amplification (NABSA), or any other nucleic acid amplification method, followed by the detection of the amplified molecules using techniques well known to those of skill in the art. These detection schemes are especially useful for the detection of nucleic acid molecules if such molecules are present in very low numbers.

[0168] In one embodiment, any of a variety of sequencing reactions known in the art can be used to directly sequence at least a portion of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene and detect allelic variants, e.g., mutations, by comparing the sequence of the sample sequence with the corresponding reference (control) sequence. Exemplary sequencing reactions include those based on techniques developed by Maxam and Gilbert (Proc. Natl. Acad Sci. USA (1977) 74:560) or Sanger (Sanger et al. (1977) Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. 74:5463). It is also contemplated that any of a variety of automated sequencing procedures may be utilized when performing the subject assays (Biotechniques (1995) 19:448), including sequencing by mass spectrometry (see, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,547,835 and international patent application Publication Number WO 94/16101, entitled DNA Sequencing by Mass Spectrometry by H. Köster; U.S. Pat. No. 5,547,835 and international patent application Publication Number WO 94/21822 entitled “DNA Sequencing by Mass Spectrometry Via Exonuclease Degradation” by H. Köster), and U.S. Pat. No. 5,605,798 and International Patent Application No. PCT/US96/03651 entitled DNA Diagnostics Based on Mass Spectrometry by H. Köster;. Cohen et al. (1996) Adv Chromatogr 36:127-162; and Griffin et al. (1993) Appl Biochem Biotechnol 38:147-159). It will be evident to one skilled in the art that, for certain embodiments, the occurrence of only one, two or three of the nucleic acid bases need be determined in the sequencing reaction. For instance, A-track or the like, e.g. where only one nucleotide is detected, can be carried out.

[0169] Yet other sequencing methods are disclosed, e.g., in U.S. Pat. No. 5,580,732 entitled “Method of DNA sequencing employing a mixed DNA-polymer chain probe” and U.S. Pat. No. 5,571,676 entitled “Method for mismatch-directed in vitro DNA sequencing.”

[0170] In some cases, the presence of a specific allele of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene in DNA from a subject can be shown by restriction enzyme analysis. For example, a specific nucleotide polymorphism can result in a nucleotide sequence comprising a restriction site which is absent from the nucleotide sequence of another allelic variant.

[0171] In a further embodiment, protection from cleavage agents (such as a nuclease, hydroxylamine or osmium tetroxide and with piperidine) can be used to detect mismatched bases in RNA/RNA DNA/DNA, or RNA/DNA heteroduplexes (Myers, et al. (1985) Science 230:1242). In general, the technique of “mismatch cleavage” starts by providing heteroduplexes formed by hybridizing a control nucleic acid, which is optionally labeled, e.g., RNA or DNA, comprising a nucleotide sequence of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB allelic variant with a sample nucleic acid, e.g., RNA or DNA, obtained from a tissue sample. The double-stranded duplexes are treated with an agent which cleaves single-stranded regions of the duplex such as duplexes formed based on basepair mismatches between the control and sample strands. For instance, RNA/DNA duplexes can be treated with RNase and DNA/DNA hybrids treated with S1 nuclease to enzymatically digest the mismatched regions. In other embodiments, either DNA/DNA or RNA/DNA duplexes can be treated with hydroxylamine or osmium tetroxide and with piperidine in order to digest mismatched regions. After digestion of the mismatched regions, the resulting material is then separated by size on denaturing polyacrylamide gels to determine whether the control and sample nucleic acids have an identical nucleotide sequence or in which nucleotides they are different. See, for example, Cotton et al (1988) Proc. Natl Acad Sci USA 85:4397; Saleeba et al (1992) Methods Enzymol. 217:286-295. In a preferred embodiment, the control or sample nucleic acid is labeled for detection.

[0172] In another embodiment, an allelic variant can be identified by denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) (Oefner and Underhill, (1995) Am. J. Human Gen. 57:Suppl. A266). DHPLC uses reverse-phase ion-pairing chromatography to detect the heteroduplexes that are generated during amplification of PCR fragments from individuals who are heterozygous at a particular nucleotide locus within that fragment (Oefner and Underhill (1995) Am. J. Human Gen. 57:Suppl. A266). In general, PCR products are produced using PCR primers flanking the DNA of interest. DHPLC analysis is carried out and the resulting chromatograms are analyzed to identify base pair alterations or deletions based on specific chromatographic profiles (see O'Donovan et al. (1998) Genomics 52:44-49).

[0173] In other embodiments, alterations in electrophoretic mobility is used to identify the type of THBS2, ACE, or FGB allelic variant. For example, single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) may be used to detect differences in electrophoretic mobility between mutant and wild type nucleic acids (Orita et al (1989) Proc Natl. Acad. Sci USA 86:2766, see also Cotton (1993) Mutat Res 285:125-144; and Hayashi (1992) Genet Anal Tech Appl 9:73-79). Single-stranded DNA fragments of sample and control nucleic acids are denatured and allowed to renature. The secondary structure of single-stranded nucleic acids varies according to sequence, the resulting alteration in electrophoretic mobility enables the detection of even a single base change. The DNA fragments may be labeled or detected with labeled probes. The sensitivity of the assay may be enhanced by using RNA (rather than DNA), in which the secondary structure is more sensitive to a change in sequence. In another preferred embodiment, the subject method utilizes heteroduplex analysis to separate double stranded heteroduplex molecules on the basis of changes in electrophoretic mobility (Keen et al (1991) Trends Genet 7:5).

[0174] In yet another embodiment, the identity of an allelic variant of a polymorphic region is obtained by analyzing the movement of a nucleic acid comprising the polymorphic region in polyacrylamide gels containing a gradient of denaturant is assayed using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) (Myers et al (1985) Nature 313:495). When DGGE is used as the method of analysis, DNA will be modified to insure that it does not completely denature, for example by adding a GC clamp of approximately 40 bp of high-melting GC-rich DNA by PCR. In a further embodiment, a temperature gradient is used in place of a denaturing agent gradient to identify differences in the mobility of control and sample DNA (Rosenbaum and Reissner (1987) Biophys Chem 265:1275).

[0175] Examples of techniques for detecting differences of at least one nucleotide between 2 nucleic acids include, but are not limited to, selective oligonucleotide hybridization, selective amplification, or selective primer extension. For example, oligonucleotide probes may be prepared in which the known polymorphic nucleotide is placed centrally (allele-specific probes) and then hybridized to target DNA under conditions which permit hybridization only if a perfect match is found (Saiki et al. (1986) Nature 324:163); Saiki et al (1989) Proc. Natl Acad. Sci USA 86:6230; and Wallace et al. (1979) Nucl. Acids Res. 6:3543). Such allele specific oligonucleotide hybridization techniques may be used for the simultaneous detection of several nucleotide changes in different polylmorphic regions of THBS2, ACE, or FGB. For example, oligonucleotides having nucleotide sequences of specific allelic variants are attached to a hybridizing membrane and this membrane is then hybridized with labeled sample nucleic acid. Analysis of the hybridization signal will then reveal the identity of the nucleotides of the sample nucleic acid.

[0176] Alternatively, allele specific amplification technology which depends on selective PCR amplification may be used in conjunction with the instant invention. Oligonucleotides used as primers for specific amplification may carry the allelic variant of interest in the center of the molecule (so that amplification depends on differential hybridization) (Gibbs et al (1989) Nucleic Acids Res. 17:2437-2448) or at the extreme 3′ end of one primer where, under appropriate conditions, mismatch can prevent, or reduce polymerase extension (Prossner (1993) Tibtech 11:238; Newton et al. (1989) Nucl. Acids Res. 17:2503). This technique is also termed “PROBE” for Probe Oligo Base Extension. In addition it may be desirable to introduce a novel restriction site in the region of the mutation to create cleavage-based detection (Gasparini et al (1992) Mol. Cell Probes 6:1).

[0177] In another embodiment, identification of the allelic variant is carried out using an oligonucleotide ligation assay (OLA), as described, e.g., in U.S. Pat. No. 4,998,617 and in Landegren, U. et al., (1988) Science 241:1077-1080. The OLA protocol uses two oligonucleotides which are designed to be capable of hybridizing to abutting sequences of a single strand of a target. One of the oligonucleotides is linked to a separation marker, e.g., biotinylated, and the other is detectably labeled. If the precise complementary sequence is found in a target molecule, the oligonucleotides will hybridize such that their termini abut, and create a ligation substrate. Ligation then permits the labeled oligonucleotide to be recovered using avidin, or another biotin ligand. Nickerson, D. A. et al have described a nucleic acid detection assay that combines attributes of PCR and OLA (Nickerson, D. A. et al., (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 87:8923-8927. In this method, PCR is used to achieve the exponential amplification of target DNA, which is then detected using OLA.

[0178] Several techniques based on this OLA method have been developed and can be used to detect specific allelic variants of a polymorphic region of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,593,826 discloses an OLA using an oligonucleotide having 3′-amino group and a 5′-phosphorylated oligonucleotide to form a conjugate having a phosphoramidate linkage. In another variation of OLA described in Tobe et al. ((1996) Nucleic Acids Res 24: 3728), OLA combined with PCR permits typing of two alleles in a single microtiter well. By marking each of the allele-specific primers with a unique hapten, i.e. digoxigenin and fluorescein, each OLA reaction can be detected by using hapten specific antibodies that are labeled with different enzyme reporters, alkaline phosphatase or horseradish peroxidase. This system permits the detection of the two alleles using a high throughput format that leads to the production of two different colors.

[0179] The invention further provides methods for detecting single nucleotide polymorphisms in a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene. Because single nucleotide polymorphisms constitute sites of variation flanked by regions of invariant sequence, their analysis requires no more than the determination of the identity of the single nucleotide present at the site of variation and it is unnecessary to determine a complete gene sequence for each subject. Several methods have been developed to facilitate the analysis of such single nucleotide polymorphisms.

[0180] In one embodiment, the single base polymorphism can be detected by using a specialized exonuclease-resistant nucleotide, as disclosed, e.g., in Mundy, C. R. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,656,127). According to the method, a primer complementary to the allelic sequence immediately 3′ to the polymorphic site is permitted to hybridize to a target molecule obtained from a particular animal or human. If the polymorphic site on the target molecule contains a nucleotide that is complementary to the particular exonuclease-resistant nucleotide derivative present, then that derivative will be incorporated onto the end of the hybridized primer. Such incorporation renders the primer resistant to exonuclease, and thereby permits its detection. Since the identity of the exonuclease-resistant derivative of the sample is known, a finding that the primer has become resistant to exonucleases reveals that the nucleotide present in the polymorphic site of the target molecule was complementary to that of the nucleotide derivative used in the reaction. This method has the advantage that it does not require the determination of large amounts of extraneous sequence data.

[0181] In another embodiment of the invention, a solution-based method is used for determining the identity of the nucleotide of a polymorphic site. Cohen, D. et al. (French Patent 2,650,840; PCT Appln. No. WO91/02087). As in the Mundy method of U.S. Pat. No. 4,656,127, a primer is employed that is complementary to allelic sequences immediately 3′ to a polymorphic site. The method determines the identity of the nucleotide of that site using labeled dideoxynucleotide derivatives, which, if complementary to the nucleotide of the polymorphic site will become incorporated onto the terminus of the primer.

[0182] An alternative method, known as Genetic Bit Analysis or GBA™ is described by Goelet, P. et al. (PCT Appln. No. 92/15712). The method of Goelet, P. et al. uses mixtures of labeled terminators and a primer that is complementary to the sequence 3′ to a polymorphic site. The labeled terminator that is incorporated is thus determined by, and complementary to, the nucleotide present in the polymorphic site of the target molecule being evaluated. In contrast to the method of Cohen et al. (French Patent 2,650,840; PCT Appln. No. WO91/02087) the method of Goelet, P. et al is preferably a heterogeneous phase assay, in which the primer or the target molecule is immobilized to a solid phase.

[0183] Recently, several primer-guided nucleotide incorporation procedures for assaying polymorphic sites in DNA have been described (Komher, J. S. et al., (1989) Nucl. Acids. Res. 17:7779-7784; Sokolov, B. P., (1990) Nucl. Acids Res. 18:3671; Syvanen, A. -C., et al., (1990) Genomics 8:684-692; Kuppuswamy, M. N. et al., (1991) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 88:1143-1147; Prezant, T. R. et al., (1992) Hum. Mutat. 1:159-164; Ugozzoli, L. et al., (1992) GATA 9:107-112; Nyren, P. (1993) et al., Anal. Biochem. 208:171-175). These methods differ from GBA™ in that they all rely on the incorporation of labeled deoxynucleotides to discriminate between bases at a polymorphic site. In such a format, since the signal is proportional to the number of deoxynucleotides incorporated, polymorphisms that occur in runs of the same nucleotide can result in signals that are proportional to the length of the run (Syvanen, A. C., et al., (1993) Amer. J Hum. Genet. 52:46-59).

[0184] For determining the identity of the allelic variant of a polymorphic region located in the coding region of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene, yet other methods than those described above can be used. For example, identification of an allelic variant which encodes a mutated THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein can be performed by using an antibody specifically recognizing the mutant protein in, e.g., immunohistochemistry or immunoprecipitation. Antibodies to wild-type THBS2, ACE, or FGB or mutated forms of THBS2, ACE, or FGB proteins can be prepared according to methods known in the art.

[0185] Alternatively, one can also measure an activity of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein, such as binding to a THBS2, ACE, or FGB ligand. Binding assays are known in the art and involve, e.g., obtaining cells from a subject, and performing binding experiments with a labeled ligand, to determine whether binding to the mutated form of the protein differs from binding to the wild-type of the protein.

[0186] Antibodies directed against reference or mutant THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides or allelic variant thereof, which are discussed above, may also be used in disease diagnostics and prognostics. Such diagnostic methods, may be used to detect abnormalities in the level of THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptide expression, or abnormalities in the structure and/or tissue, cellular, or subcellular location of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptide. Structural differences may include, for example, differences in the size, electronegativity, or antigenicity of the mutant THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptide relative to the normal THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptide. Protein from the tissue or cell type to be analyzed may easily be detected or isolated using techniques which are well known to one of skill in the art, including but not limited to Western blot analysis. For a detailed explanation of methods for carrying out Western blot analysis, see Sambrook et al, 1989, supra, at Chapter 18. The protein detection and isolation methods employed herein may also be such as those described in Harlow and Lane, for example, (Harlow, E. and Lane, D., 1988, “Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual”, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0187] This can be accomplished, for example, by immunofluorescence techniques employing a fluorescently labeled antibody (see below) coupled with light microscopic, flow cytometric, or fluorimetric detection. The antibodies (or fragments thereof) useful in the present invention may, additionally, be employed histologically, as in immunofluorescence or immunoelectron microscopy, for in situ detection of THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptides. In situ detection may be accomplished by removing a histological specimen from a subject, and applying thereto a labeled antibody of the present invention. The antibody (or fragment) is preferably applied by overlaying the labeled antibody (or fragment) onto a biological sample. Through the use of such a procedure, it is possible to determine not only the presence of the THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptide, but also its distribution in the examined tissue. Using the present invention, one of ordinary skill will readily perceive that any of a wide variety of histological methods (such as staining procedures) can be modified in order to achieve such in situ detection.

[0188] Often a solid phase support or carrier is used as a support capable of binding an antigen or an antibody. Well-known supports or carriers include glass, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, dextran, nylon, amylases, natural and modified celluloses, polyacrylamides, gabbros, and magnetite. The nature of the carrier can be either soluble to some extent or insoluble for the purposes of the present invention. The support material may have virtually any possible structural configuration so long as the coupled molecule is capable of binding to an antigen or antibody. Thus, the support configuration may be spherical, as in a bead, or cylindrical, as in the inside surface of a test tube, or the external surface of a rod. Alternatively, the surface may be flat such as a sheet, test strip, etc. Preferred supports include polystyrene beads. Those skilled in the art will know many other suitable carriers for binding antibody or antigen, or will be able to ascertain the same by use of routine experimentation.

[0189] One means for labeling an anti-THBS2, ACE, or FGB polypeptide specific antibody is via linkage to an enzyme and use in an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) (Voller, “The Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA)”, Diagnostic Horizons 2:1-7, 1978, Microbiological Associates Quarterly Publication, Walkersville, Md.; Voller, et al., (1978) J. Clin. Pathol. 31:507-520; Butler, (1981) Meth. Enzymol. 73:482-523; Maggio, (ed.) Enzyme Immunoassay, CRC Press, Boca Raton, Fla., 1980; Ishikawa, et al., (eds.) Enzyme Immunoassay, Kgaku Shoin, Tokyo, 1981). The enzyme which is bound to the antibody will react with an appropriate substrate, preferably a chromogenic substrate, in such a manner as to produce a chemical moiety which can be detected, for example, by spectrophotometric, fluorimetric or by visual means. Enzymes which can be used to detectably label the antibody include, but are not limited to, malate dehydrogenase, staphylococcal nuclease, delta-5-steroid isomerase, yeast alcohol dehydrogenase, alpha-glycerophosphate, dehydrogenase, triose phosphate isomerase, horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, asparaginase, glucose oxidase, beta-galactosidase, ribonuclease, urease, catalase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glucoamylase and acetylcholinesterase. The detection can be accomplished by colorimetric methods which employ a chromogenic substrate for the enzyme. Detection may also be accomplished by visual comparison of the extent of enzymatic reaction of a substrate in comparison with similarly prepared standards.

[0190] Detection may also be accomplished using any of a variety of other immunoassays. For example, by radioactively labeling the antibodies or antibody fragments, it is possible to detect fingerprint gene wild type or mutant peptides through the use of a radioimmunoassay (RIA) (see, for example, Weintraub, B., Principles of Radioimmunoassays, Seventh Training Course on Radioligand Assay Techniques, The Endocrine Society, March, 1986, which is incorporated by reference herein). The radioactive isotope can be detected by such means as the use of a gamma counter or a scintillation counter or by autoradiography.

[0191] It is also possible to label the antibody with a fluorescent compound. When the fluorescently labeled antibody is exposed to light of the proper wave length, its presence can then be detected due to fluorescence. Among the most commonly used fluorescent labeling compounds are fluorescein isothiocyanate, rhodamine, phycoerythrin, phycocyanin, allophycocyanin, o-phthaldehyde and fluorescamine.

[0192] The antibody can also be detectably labeled using fluorescence emitting metals such as ¹⁵²Eu, or others of the lanthanide series. These metals can be attached to the antibody using such metal chelating groups as diethylenetriaminepentacetic acid (DTPA) or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA).

[0193] The antibody also can be detectably labeled by coupling it to a chemiluminescent compound. The presence of the chemiluminescent-tagged antibody is then determined by detecting the presence of luminescence that arises during the course of a chemical reaction. Examples of particularly useful chemiluminescent labeling compounds are luminol, isoluminol, theromatic acridinium ester, imidazole, acridinium salt and oxalate ester.

[0194] Likewise, a bioluminescent compound may be used to label the antibody of the present invention. Bioluminescence is a type of chemiluminescence found in biological systems in, which a catalytic protein increases the efficiency of the chemiluminescent reaction. The presence of a bioluminescent protein is determined by detecting the presence of luminescence. Important bioluminescent compounds for purposes of labeling are luciferin, luciferase and aequorin.

[0195] If a polymorphic region is located in an exon, either in a coding or non-coding portion of the gene, the identity of the allelic variant can be determined by determining the molecular structure of the mRNA, pre-mRNA, or cDNA. The molecular structure can be determined using any of the above described methods for determining the molecular structure of the genomic DNA, e.g., see Example 1.

[0196] The methods described herein may be performed, for example, by utilizing pre-packaged diagnostic kits, such as those described above, comprising at least one probe or primer nucleic acid described herein, which may be conveniently used, e.g., to determine whether a subject is or is not at risk of developing a disease associated with a specific THBS2, ACE, or FGB allelic variant.

[0197] Sample nucleic acid to be analyzed by any of the above-described diagnostic and prognostic methods can be obtained from any cell type or tissue of a subject. For example, a subject's bodily fluid (e.g. blood) can be obtained by known techniques (e.g. venipuncture). Alternatively, nucleic acid tests can be performed on dry samples (e.g. hair or skin). Fetal nucleic acid samples can be obtained from maternal blood as described in International Patent Application No. WO91/07660 to Bianchi. Alternatively, amniocytes or chorionic villi may be obtained for performing prenatal testing.

[0198] Diagnostic procedures may also be performed in situ directly upon tissue sections (fixed and/or frozen) of subject tissue obtained from biopsies or resections, such that no nucleic acid purification is necessary. Nucleic acid reagents may be used as probes and/or primers for such in situ procedures (see, for example, Nuovo, G. J., 1992, PCR in situ hybridization: protocols and applications, Raven Press, NY).

[0199] In addition to methods which focus primarily on the detection of one nucleic acid sequence, profiles may also be assessed in such detection schemes. Fingerprint profiles may be generated, for example, by utilizing a differential display procedure, Northern analysis and/or RT-PCR.

[0200] B. Pharmacogenomics

[0201] Knowledge of the identity of the allele of one or more THBS2, ACE, and/or FGB gene polymorphic regions in a subject (the THBS2, ACE, and/or FGB genetic profile), alone or in conjunction with information of other genetic defects associated with the same disease (the genetic profile of the particular disease) also allows selection and customization of the therapy, e.g., a particular clinical course of therapy and/or further diagnostic evaluation for a particular disease to the subject's genetic profile. For example, subjects having a specific allele of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene, singly or in combination, may or may not exhibit symptoms of a particular disease or be predisposed to developing symptoms of a particular disease. Further, if those subjects are symptomatic, they may or may not respond to a certain drug, e.g., a specific therapeutic used in the treatment or prevention of a vascular disease or disorder, e.g., CAD or MI, such as, for example, beta blocker drugs, calcium channel blocker drugs, and/or nitrate drugs, but may respond to another. Furthermore, they may or may not respond to other treatments, including, for example, use of devices for treatment of vascular disease, or surgical and/or non-surgical courses of treatment. Moreover, if a subject does or does not exhibit symptoms of a particular disease, the subject may or may not benefit from further diagnostic evaluation, including, for example, use of vascular imaging devices. Thus, generation of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB genetic profile, (e.g., categorization of alterations in THBS2, ACE, or FGB genes which are associated with the development of a particular disease), from a population of subjects, who are symptomatic for a disease or condition that is caused by or contributed to by a defective and/or deficient THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene and/or protein (a THBS2, ACE, or FGB genetic population profile) and comparison of a subject's THBS2, ACE, or FGB profile to the population profile, permits the selection or design of drugs that are expected to be safe and efficacious for a particular subject or subject population (i.e., a group of subjects having the same genetic alteration), as well as the selection or design of a particular clinical course of therapy or further diagnostic evaluations that are expected to be safe and efficacious for a particular subject or subject population.

[0202] For example, a THBS2, ACE, or FGB population profile can be performed by determining the THBS2, ACE, or FGB profile, e.g., the identity of THBS2, ACE, or FGB alleles, in a subject population having a disease, which is associated with one or more specific alleles of THBS2, ACE, or FGB polymorphic regions. Optionally, the THBS2, ACE, or FGB population profile can further include information relating to the response of the population to a THBS2, ACE, or FGB therapeutic, using any of a variety of methods, including, monitoring: 1) the severity of symptoms associated with the THBS2, ACE, or FGB related disease; 2) THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene expression level; 3) THBS2, ACE, or FGB mRNA level; and/or 4) THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein level, and dividing or categorizing the population based on particular THBS2, ACE, or FGB alleles. The THBS2, ACE, or FGB genetic population profile can also, optionally, indicate those particular THBS2, ACE, or FGB alleles which are present in subjects that are either responsive or non-responsive to a particular therapeutic, clinical course of therapy, or diagnostic evaluation. This information or population profile, is then useful for predicting which individuals should respond to particular drugs, particular clinical courses of therapy, or diagnostic evaluations based on their individual THBS2, ACE, or FGB genetic profile.

[0203] In a preferred embodiment, the THBS2, ACE, or FGB profile is a transcriptional or expression level profile and is comprised of determining the expression level of THBS2, ACE, or FGB proteins, alone or in conjunction with the expression level of other genes known to contribute to the same disease at various stages of the disease.

[0204] Pharmacogenomic studies can also be performed using transgenic animals. For example, one can produce transgenic mice, e.g., as described herein, which contain a specific allelic variant of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene. These mice can be created, e.g., by replacing their wild-type THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene with an allele of the human THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene. The response of these mice to specific THBS2, ACE, or FGB particular therapeutics, clinical courses of treatment, and/or diagnostic evaluations can then be determined.

[0205] (i) Diagnostic Evaluation

[0206] In one embodiment, the polymorphisms of the present invention are used to determine the most appropriate diagnostic evaluation and to determine whether or not a subject will benefit from further diagnostic evaluation. For example, if a subject has pattern 1 or pattern 2 of the THBS2 SNPs, or the complements thereof, as described herein, that subject has a decreased risk for vascular disease. Likewise, if a subject has one copy of an A and one copy of a G at nucleotide residue 86408 of the ACE reference sequence GI 13027555 (AG genotype), or the complement thereof, that subject is at a decreased risk for vascular disease. Likewise, if a subject has two copies of a T at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597, or the complement thereof, that subject is at a decreased risk for vascular disease. In addition, if a subject has one copy of a T and one copy of a C at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597, or the complement thereof, that subject is also at a decreased risk for vascular disease. Therefore, a subject having a decreased risk for vascular disease, identified by the presence of the alleles described above, would be less likely to require or benefit from further diagnostic evaluation for a vascular disease or disorder.

[0207] Thus, in one embodiment, the invention provides methods for classifying a subject who or is or is not at risk for developing, a vascular disease or disorder as a candidate for further diagnostic evaluation for a vascular disease or disorder comprising the steps of determining the THBS2, ACE, and/or FGB genetic profile of the subject, comparing the subject's THBS2, ACE, and/or FGB genetic profile to a THBS2, ACE, and/or FGB genetic population profile, and classifying the subject based on the identified genetic profiles as a subject who is a candidate for further diagnostic evaluation for a vascular disease or disorder.

[0208] In one embodiment, the subject's THBS2, ACE, and/or FGB genetic profile is determined by identifying the nucleotide at residue 3949 and/or residue 4476 of the reference sequence GI 307505 of the THBS2 gene (polymorphism ID Nos. G5755e5 and G5755e9, respectively), the nucleotide at residue 86408 of the reference sequence GI 13027555 of the ACE gene (polymorphism ID No. G765u2), the nucleotide at residue 5119 and/or residue 8059 of the reference sequence GI 182597 of the FGB gene (polymorphism ID Nos. FGBu1 and FGBu4, respectively). Methods of further diagnostic evaluation include use of vascular imaging devices such as, for example, angiography, cardiac ultrasound, coronary angiogram, magnetic resonance imagery, nuclear imaging, CT scan, myocardial perfusion imagery, or electrocardiogram, or may include genetic analysis, familial health history analysis, lifestyle analysis, exercise stress tests, or any combination thereof.

[0209] In another embodiment, the invention provides methods for selecting an effective vascular imaging device as a diagnostic tool for a vascular disease or disorder comprising the steps of determining the THBS2, ACE, and/or FGB genetic profile of the subject; comparing the subject's THBS2, ACE, and/or FGB genetic profile to a THBS2, ACE, and/or FGB genetic population profile; and selecting an effective vascular imaging device as a diagnostic tool for a vascular disease or disorder. In a preferred embodiment, the vascular imaging device is selected from the group consisting of angiography, cardiac ultrasound, coronary angiogram, magnetic resonance imagery, nuclear imaging, CT scan, myocardial perfusion imagery, electrocardiogram, or any combination thereof.

[0210] (ii) Clinical Course of Therapy

[0211] In another aspect, the polymorphisms of the present invention are used to determine the most appropriate clinical course of therapy for a subject who is at risk of a vascular disease or disorder, and will aid in the determination of whether the subject will benefit from such clinical course of therapy, as determined by identification of one or both of the polymorphisms of the invention.

[0212] In one aspect, the invention relates to the SNPs identified as described herein, both singly or in combination, as well as to the use of these SNPs, and others in these genes, particularly those nearby in linkage disequilibrium with these SNPs, both singly and in combination, for prediction of a particular clinical course of therapy for a subject who has, or is or is not at risk for developing, a vascular disease. In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for determining whether a subject will or will not benefit from a particular course of therapy by determining the presence of one, or both of the identities of the polymorphisms of the invention. For example, the determination of the polymorphisms of the invention, singly, or in combination, will aid in the determination of whether a subject will benefit from surgical revascularization and/or will benefit by the implantation of a stent following surgical revascularization, and will aid in the determination of the likelihood of success or failure of a particular clinical course of therapy.

[0213] For example, a subject having “pattern 1,” which comprises two copies of the variant allele of G5755e9 (CC) in combination with two copies of the reference allele of G5755e5 (TT), or the complement thereof, or “pattern 2”, which comprises two copies of the reference allele of G5755e9 (TT) and two copies of the variant allele of G5755e5 (GG), or the complement thereof, is at approximately 3-fold decreased odds of vascular disease.

[0214] A subject having one copy of an A and one copy of a G at nucleotide residue 86408 of the ACE reference sequence GI 13027555 (AG genotype), or the complement thereof, is at a decreased risk for vascular disease.

[0215] A subject having two copies of a T at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597, or the complement thereof, is at a decreased risk for vascular disease, and a subject having one copy of a T and one copy of a C at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597, or the complement thereof, is also at a decreased risk for vascular disease. Also, a subject having two copies of an A at nucleotide residue 8059 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597, or the complement thereof, is at a decreased risk for vascular disease. A subject having one copy of an A and one copy of a G at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597, or the complement thereof, is also at a decreased risk for vascular disease (see Example 1). Therefore, a subject with these specific alleles would be less likely to require or benefit from any clinical course of therapy.

[0216] An appropriate clinical course of therapy may include, for example, a lifestyle change, including, for example, a change in diet or environment. Other clinical courses of therapy include, but are not limited to, use of surgical procedures or medical devices. Surgical procedures used for the treatment of vascular disorders, includes, for example, surgical revascularization, such as angioplasty, e.g., percutaneous transluminal coronary balloon angioplasty (PTCA), or laser angioplasty, or coronary bypass grafting (CABG). Medical devices used in the treatment or prevention of vascular diseases or disorders, include, for example, a stent, a defibrillator, a pacemaker, or any combination thereof.

[0217] C. Monitoring Effects of THBS2, ACE, or FGB Therapeutics During Clinical Trials

[0218] The present invention provides a method for monitoring the effectiveness of treatment of a subject with an agent (e.g., an agonist, antagonist, peptidomimetic, protein, peptide, nucleic acid, small molecule, or other drug candidate identified, e.g., by the screening assays described herein) comprising the steps of (i) obtaining a preadministration sample from a subject prior to administration of the agent; (ii) detecting the level of expression or activity of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein, mRNA or gene in the preadministration sample; (iii) obtaining one or more post-administration samples from the subject; (iv) detecting the level of expression or activity of the THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein, mRNA or gene in the post-administration samples; (v) comparing the level of expression or activity of the THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein, mRNA, or gene in the preadministration sample with those of the THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein, mRNA, or gene in the post administration sample or samples; and (vi) altering the administration of the agent to the subject accordingly. For example, increased administration of the agent may be desirable to increase the expression or activity of THBS2, ACE, or FGB to higher levels than detected, i.e., to increase the effectiveness of the agent. Alternatively, decreased administration of the agent may be desirable to decrease expression or activity of THBS2, ACE, or FGB to lower levels than detected, i.e., to decrease the effectiveness of the agent.

[0219] Cells of a subject may also be obtained before and after administration of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB therapeutic to detect the level of expression of genes other than THBS2, ACE, or FGB, to verify that the THBS2, ACE, or FGB therapeutic does not increase or decrease the expression of genes which could be deleterious. This can be done, e.g., by using the method of transcriptional profiling. Thus, mRNA from cells exposed in vivo to a THBS2, ACE, or FGB therapeutic and mRNA from the same type of cells that were not exposed to the THBS2, ACE, or FGB therapeutic could be reverse transcribed and hybridized to a chip containing DNA from numerous genes, to thereby compare the expression of genes in cells treated and not treated with a THBS2, ACE, or FGB therapeutic. If, for example a THBS2, ACE, or FGB therapeutic turns on the expression of a proto-oncogene in a subject, use of this particular THBS2, ACE, or FGB therapeutic may be undesirable.

[0220] D. Methods of Treatment

[0221] The present invention provides for both prophylactic and therapeutic methods of treating a subject having or likely to develop a disorder associated with specific THBS2, ACE, or FGB alleles and/or aberrant THBS2, ACE, or FGB expression or activity, e.g., vascular diseases or disorders.

[0222] i) Prophylactic Methods

[0223] In one aspect, the invention provides a method for preventing a disease or disorder associated with a specific THBS2, ACE, or FGB allele such as a vascular disease or disorder, e.g., CAD or MI, and medical conditions resulting therefrom, by administering to the subject an agent which counteracts the unfavorable biological effect of the specific THBS2, ACE, or FGB allele. Subjects at risk for such a disease can be identified by a diagnostic or prognostic assay, e.g., as described herein. Administration of a prophylactic agent can occur prior to the manifestation of symptoms associated with specific THBS2, ACE, or FGB alleles, such that a disease or disorder is prevented or, alternatively, delayed in its progression. Depending on the identity of the THBS2, ACE, or FGB allele in a subject, a compound that counteracts the effect of this allele is administered. The compound can be a compound modulating the activity of THBS2, ACE, or FGB, e.g., a THBS2, ACE, or FGB inhibitor. The treatment can also be a specific lifestyle change, e.g., a change in diet or an environmental alteration. In particular, the treatment can be undertaken prophylactically, before any other symptoms are present. Such a prophylactic treatment could thus prevent the development of aberrant vascular activity, e.g., the production of atherosclerotic plaque leading to, e.g., CAD or MI. The prophylactic methods are similar to therapeutic methods of the present invention and are further discussed in the following subsections.

[0224] (ii) Therapeutic Methods

[0225] The invention further provides methods of treating a subject having a disease or disorder associated with a specific allelic variant of a polymorphic region of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene. Preferred diseases or disorders include vascular diseases and disorders, and disorders resulting therefrom (e.g., such as, for example, atherosclerosis, CAD, MI, ischemia, stroke, peripheral vascular diseases, venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism).

[0226] In one embodiment, the method comprises (a) determining the identity of an allelic variant of a one or more of a THBS2, ACE, and/or FGB; and (b) administering to the subject a compound that compensates for the effect of the specific allelic variant(s). The polymorphic region can be localized at any location of the gene, e.g., in a regulatory element (e.g., in a 5′ upstream regulatory element), in an exon, (e.g., coding region of an exon), in the 3′ UTR, in an intron, or at an exon/intron border. Thus, depending on the site of the polymorphism in the THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene, a subject having a specific variant of the polymorphic region which is associated with a specific disease or condition, can be treated with compounds which specifically compensate for the effect of the allelic variant.

[0227] In a preferred embodiment, the identity of one or more of the following nucleotides of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene of a subject is determined: the nucleotide at residue 3949 and/or residue 4476 of the reference sequence GI 307505 of the THBS2 gene (polymorphism ID Nos. G5755e5 and G5755e9, respectively), the nucleotide at residue 86408 of the reference sequence GI 13027555 of the ACE gene (polymorphism ID No. G765u2), the nucleotide at residue 5119 and/or residue 8059 of the reference sequence GI 182597 of the FGB gene (polymorphism ID Nos. FGBu1 and FGBu4, respectively). In a preferred embodiment, the identities of one or more nucleotides is determined.

[0228] For example, a subject having “pattern 1,” which comprises two copies of the variant allele of G5755e9 (CC) in combination with two copies of the reference allele of G5755e5 (TT), or the complement thereof, or “pattern 2”, which comprises two copies of the reference allele of G5755e9 (TT) and two copies of the variant allele of G5755e5 (GG), or the complement thereof, is at approximately 3-fold decreased odds of vascular disease.

[0229] A subject having one copy of an A and one copy of a G at nucleotide residue 86408 of the ACE reference sequence GI 13027555 (AG genotype), or the complement thereof, is at a decreased risk for vascular disease.

[0230] A subject having two copies of a T at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597, or the complement thereof, is at a decreased risk for vascular disease, and a subject having one copy of a T and one copy of a C at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597, or the complement thereof, is also at a decreased risk for vascular disease. Also, a subject having two copies of an A at nucleotide residue 8059 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597, or the complement thereof, is at a decreased risk for vascular disease. A subject having one copy of an A and one copy of a G at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597, or the complement thereof, is also at a decreased risk for vascular disease.

[0231] Generally, the allelic variant can be a mutant allele, i.e., an allele which when present in one, or two copies, in a subject results in a change in the phenotype of the subject. A mutation can be a substitution, deletion, and/or addition of at least one nucleotide relative to the wild-type allele (i.e., the reference sequence). Depending on where the mutation is located in the THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene, the subject can be treated to specifically compensate for the mutation. For example, if the mutation is present in the coding region of the gene and results in a more active THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein, the subject can be treated, e.g., by administration to the subject of a medication or course of clinical treatment which treat, prevents, or ameliorates a vascular disease or disorder. Normal THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein can also be used to counteract or compensate for the endogenous mutated form of the THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein. Normal THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein can be directly delivered to the subject or indirectly by gene therapy wherein some cells in the subject are transformed or transfected with an expression construct encoding wild-type THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein. Nucleic acids encoding reference human THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein are set forth in SEQ ID NOs.:1, 3, and 5, respectively (GI Accession Nos. 307505, 13027555, and 182597, respectively).

[0232] Yet in another embodiment, the invention provides methods for treating a subject having a mutated THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene, in which the mutation is located in a regulatory region of the gene. Such a regulatory region can be localized in the 5′ upstream regulatory element of the gene, in the 5′ or 3′ untranslated region of an exon, or in an intron. A mutation in a regulatory region can result in increased production of THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein, decreased production of THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein, or production of THBS2, ACE, or FGB having an aberrant tissue distribution. The effect of a mutation in a regulatory region upon the THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein can be determined, e.g., by measuring the THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein level or mRNA level in cells having a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene having this mutation and which, normally (i.e., in the absence of the mutation) produce THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein. The effect of a mutation can also be determined in vitro. For example, if the mutation is in the 5′ upstream regulatory element, a reporter construct can be constructed which comprises the mutated 5′ upstream regulatory element linked to a reporter gene, the construct transfected into cells, and comparison of the level of expression of the reporter gene under the control of the mutated 5′ upstream regulatory element and under the control of a wild-type 5′ upstream regulatory element. Such experiments can also be carried out in mice transgenic for the mutated 5′ upstream regulatory element. If the mutation is located in an intron, the effect of the mutation can be determined, e.g., by producing transgenic animals in which the mutated THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene has been introduced and in which the wild-type gene may have been knocked out. Comparison of the level of expression of THBS2, ACE, or FGB in the mice transgenic for the mutant human THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene with mice transgenic for a wild-type human THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene will reveal whether the mutation results in increased, or decreased synthesis of the THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein and/or aberrant tissue distribution of THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein. Such analysis could also be performed in cultured cells, in which the human mutant THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene is introduced and, e.g., replaces the endogenous wild-type THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene in the cell. Thus, depending on the effect of the mutation in a regulatory region of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene, a specific treatment can be administered to a subject having such a mutation. Accordingly, if the mutation results in increased THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein levels, the subject can be treated by administration of a compound which reduces THBS2, ACE, or FGB protein production, e.g., by reducing THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene expression or a compound which inhibits or reduces the activity of THBS2, ACE, or FGB.

[0233] A correlation between drug responses and specific alleles of THBS2, ACE, or FGB can be shown, for example, by clinical studies wherein the response to specific drugs of subjects having different allelic variants of a polymorphic region of a THBS2, ACE, or FGB gene is compared. Such studies can also be performed using animal models, such as mice having various alleles of human THBS2, ACE, or FGB genes and in which, e.g., the endogenous THBS2, ACE, or FGB has been inactivated such as by a knock-out mutation. Test drugs are then administered to the mice having different human THBS2, ACE, or FGB alleles and the response of the different mice to a specific compound is compared. Accordingly, the invention provides assays for identifying the drug which will be best suited for treating a specific disease or condition in a subject. For example, it will be possible to select drugs which will be devoid of toxicity, or have the lowest level of toxicity possible for treating a subject having a disease or condition.

Other Uses For the Nucleic Acid Molecules of the Invention

[0234] The identification of different alleles of THBS2, ACE, or FGB can also be useful for identifying an individual among other individuals from the same species. For example, DNA sequences can be used as a fingerprint for detection of different individuals within the same species (Thompson, J. S. and Thompson, eds., Genetics in Medicine, WB Saunders Co., Philadelphia, Pa. (1991)). This is useful, for example, in forensic studies and paternity testing, as described below.

[0235] A. Forensics

[0236] Determination of which specific allele occupies a set of one or more polymorphic sites in an individual identifies a set of polymorphic forms that distinguish the individual from others in the population. See generally National Research Council, The Evaluation of Forensic DNA Evidence (Eds. Pollard et al., National Academy Press, DC, 1996). The more polymorphic sites that are analyzed, the lower the probability that the set of polymorphic forms in one individual is the same as that in an unrelated individual. Preferably, if multiple sites are analyzed, the sites are unlinked. Thus, the polymorphisms of the invention can be used in conjunction with known polymorphisms in distal genes. Preferred polymorphisms for use in forensics are biallelic because the population frequencies of two polymorphic forms can usually be determined with greater accuracy than those of multiple polymorphic forms at multi-allelic loci.

[0237] The capacity to identify a distinguishing or unique set of polymorphic markers in an individual is useful for forensic analysis. For example, one can determine whether a blood sample from a suspect matches a blood or other tissue sample from a crime scene by determining whether the set of polymorphic forms occupying selected polymorphic sites is the same in the suspect and the sample. If the set of polymorphic markers does not match between a suspect and a sample, it can be concluded (barring experimental error) that the suspect was not the source of the sample. If the set of markers is the same in the sample as in the suspect, one can conclude that the DNA from the suspect is consistent with that found at the crime scene. If frequencies of the polymorphic forms at the loci tested have been determined (e.g., by analysis of a suitable population of individuals), one can perform a statistical analysis to determine the probability that a match of suspect and crime scene sample would occur by chance.

[0238] p(ID) is the probability that two random individuals have the same polymorphic or allelic form at a given polymorphic site. For example, in biallelic loci, four genotypes are possible: AA, AB, BA, and BB. If alleles A and B occur in a haploid genome of the organism with frequencies x and y, the probability of each genotype in a diploid organism is (see WO 95/12607):

[0239] Homozygote: p(AA)=x²

[0240] Homozygote: p(BB)=y²=(1−x)²

[0241] Single Heterozygote: p(AB)=p(BA)=xy=x(1−x)

[0242] Both Heterozygotes: p(AB+BA)=2xy=2x(1−x)

[0243] The probability of identity at one locus (i.e., the probability that two individuals, picked at random from a population will have identical polymorphic forms at a given locus) is given by the equation: p(ID)=(x²).

[0244] These calculations can be extended for any number of polymorphic forms at a given locus. For example, the probability of identity p(ID) for a 3-allele system where the alleles have the frequencies in the population of x, y, and z, respectively, is equal to the sum of the squares of the genotype frequencies: P(ID)=x⁴+(2xy)²+(2yz)²+(2xz)²+z⁴+y⁴.

[0245] In a locus of n alleles, the appropriate binomial expansion is used to calculate p(ID) and p(exc).

[0246] The cumulative probability of identity (cum p(ID)) for each of multiple unlinked loci is determined by multiplying the probabilities provided by each locus: cum p(ID)=p(ID1)p(ID2)p(ID3) . . . p(IDn).

[0247] The cumulative probability of non-identity for n loci (i.e., the probability that two random individuals will be difference at 1 or more loci) is given by the equation:

cum p(nonID)=1−cum p(ID).

[0248] If several polymorphic loci are tested, the cumulative probability of non-identity for random individuals becomes very high (e.g., one billion to one). Such probabilities can be taken into account together with other evidence in determining the guilt or innocence of the suspect.

[0249] B. Paternity Testing

[0250] The object of paternity testing is usually to determine whether a male is the father of a child. In most cases, the mother of the child is known, and thus, it is possible to trace the mother's contribution to the child's genotype. Paternity testing investigates whether the part of the child's genotype not attributable to the mother is consistent to that of the putative father. Paternity testing can be performed by analyzing sets of polymorphisms in the putative father and in the child.

[0251] If the set of polymorphisms in the child attributable to the father does not match the set of polymorphisms of the putative father, it can be concluded, barring experimental error, that that putative father is not the real father. If the set of polymorphisms in the child attributable to the father does match the set of polymorphisms of the putative father, a statistical calculation can be performed to determine the probability of a coincidental match.

[0252] The probability of parentage exclusion (representing the probability that a random male will have a polymorphic form at a given polymorphic site that makes him incompatible as the father) is given by the equation (see WO 95/12607): p(exc)=xy(1−xy), where x and y are the population frequencies of alleles A and B of a biallelic polymorphic site.

[0253] (At a triallelic site p(exc)=xy(1−xy)+yz(1−yz)+xz(1−xz)+3xyz(1−xyz)), where x, y, and z and the respective populations frequencies of alleles A, B, and C).

[0254] The probability of non-exclusion is: p(non-exc)=1−p(exc).

[0255] The cumulative probability of non-exclusion (representing the values obtained when n loci are is used) is thus:

[0256] Cum p(non-exc)=p(non-exc1)p(non-exc2)p(non-exc3) . . . p(non-excn).

[0257] The cumulative probability of the exclusion for n loci (representing the probability that a random male will be excluded: cum p(exc)=1−cum p(non-exc).

[0258] If several polymorphic loci are included in the analysis, the cumulative probability of exclusion of a random male is very high. This probability can be taken into account in assessing the liability of a putative father whose polymorphic marker set matches the child's polymorphic marker set attributable to his or her father.

[0289] In still another aspect, the invention provides a method of assessing the health of an individual.

EXAMPLES Example 1 Detection of Polymorphic Regions in the Human THBS2, ACE, and FGB Genes

[0297] This example describes the detection of polymorphic regions in the human THBS2, ACE, and FGB genes through use of denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC), variant detector arrays, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and direct sequencing.

[0298] Cell lines derived from an ethnically diverse population were obtained and used for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) discovery by methods described in Cargill, et al. (1999) Nature Genetics 22:231-238.

[0299] Genomic sequence representing the coding and partial regulatory regions of genes were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and screened via two independent methods: denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) or variant detector arrays (Affymetrix™).

[0300] DHPLC uses reverse-phase ion-pairing chromatography to detect the heteroduplexes that are generated during amplification of PCR fragments from individuals who are heterozygous at a particular nucleotide locus within that fragment (Oefner and Underhill (1995) Am. J. Human Gen. 57:Suppl. A266).

[0301] Generally, the analysis was carried out as described in O'Donovan et al. ((1998) Genomics 52:44-49). PCR products having product sizes ranging from about 150-400 bp were generated using the primers and PCR conditions described in Example 2. Two PCR reactions were pooled together for DHPLC analysis (4 ul of each reaction for a total of 8 μl per sample). DHPLC was performed on a DHPLC system purchased from Transgenomic, Inc. The gradient was created by mixing buffers A (0.1M TEAA) and B (0.1M TEAA, 25% Acetontitrile). WAVEmaker™ software was utilized to predict a melting temperature and calculate a buffer gradient for mutation analysis of a given DNA sequence. The resulting chromatograms were analyzed to identify base pair alterations or deletions based on specific chromatographic profiles.

Detection of Polymorphic Regions in the Human THBS2, ACE, and FGB Genes by SSCP

[0302] Genomic DNA from the cell lines derived from an ethnically diverse population as described in Cargill, et al. (1999) Nature Genetics 22:231-238, was subjected to PCR in 25 μl reactions (1×PCR Amplitaq polymerase buffer, 0.1 mM dNTPs, 0.8 μM 5′ primer, 0.8 μM 3′ primer, 0.75 units of Amplitaq polymerase, 50 ng genomic DNA) using each of the above described pairs of primers under the following cycle conditions: 94° C. for 2 min, 35×[94° C. for 40 sec, 57° C. for 30 sec, 72° C. for 1 min], 72° C. 5 min, 4° C. hold.

[0303] The amplified genomic DNA fragments were then analyzed by SSCP (Orita et al. (1989) PNAS USA 86:2766, see also Cotton (1993) Mutat Res 285:125-144; and Hayashi (1992) Genet Anal Tech Appl 9:73-79). From each 25 μl PCR reaction, 3 μl was taken and added to 7 μl of loading buffer. The mixture was heated to 94° C. for 5 min and then immediately cooled in a slurry of ice-water. 3-4 μl were then loaded on a 10% polyacrylamide gel either with 10% glycerol or without 10% glycerol, and then subjected to electrophoresis either overnight at 4 Watts at room temperature, overnight at 4 Watts at 4° C. (for amplifying a 5′ upstream regulatory element), or for 5 hours at 20 Watts at 4° C. The secondary structure of single-stranded nucleic acids varies according to sequence, thus allowing the detection of small differences in nucleic acid sequence between similar nucleic acids. At the end of the electrophoretic period, the DNA was analyzed by gently overlaying a mixture of dyes onto the gel (1× the manufacturer's recommended concentration of SYBR Green I™ and SYBR Green II™ in 0.5×TBE buffer (Molecular Probes™)) for 5 min, followed by rinsing in distilled water and detection in a Fluoroimager 575™ (Molecular Dynamics™).

Identification of Polymorphic Regions in the Human THBS2, ACE, or FGB Gene by Direct Sequencing of PCR Products

[0304] To determine the sequences of the polymorphisms identified, the regions containing the polymorphisms were reamplified using flanking primers. The genomic DNA was subjected to PCR in 50 μl reactions (1×PCR Amplitaq polymerase buffer, 0.1 mM dNTPs, 0.8 μM 5′ primer, 0.8 μM 3′ primer, 0.75 units of Amplitaq polymerase, 50 ng genomic DNA) using each of the pairs of primers under the following cycle conditions: 94° C. for 2 min, 35×[94° C. for 40 sec, 57° C. for 30 sec, 72° C. for 1 min], 72° C. 5 min, 4° C. hold. The newly amplified products were then purified using the Qiagen Qiaquick PCR purification kit according to the manufacturer's protocol, and subjected to sequencing using the aforementioned primers which were utilized for amplification.

Case-Control Population

[0305] Several SNPs in each of the THBS2, ACE, and FGB genes were identified. Further analysis of the THBS2, ACE, and FGB SNPs included genotyping of the SNPs in large patient populations to assess their association with CAD and MI. A total of 352 U.S. Caucasian subjects with premature coronary artery disease were identified in 15 participating medical centers, fulfilling the criteria of either myocardial infarction, surgical or percutaneous revascularization, or a significant coronary artery lesion (e.g., at least a 70% stenosis in a major epicardial artery) diagnosed before age 45 in men or age 50 in women and having a living sibling who met the same criteria. The sibling with the earliest onset in a Caucasian subset of these families was compared with a random sample of 418 Caucasian controls without known coronary disease. Controls representing a general, unselected population were identified through random-digit dialing in the Atlanta, Ga. area. Subjects ranging in age from age 20 to age 70 were invited to participate in the study. The subjects answered a health questionnaire, had anthropometric measures taken, and blood drawn for measurement of serum markers and extraction of DNA.

Statistical Analysis

[0306] All analyses were done using the SAS statistical package (Version 8.0, SAS Institute Inc., Cary, N.C.). Differences between cases and controls were assessed with a chi-square statistic for categorical covariates and the Wilcoxon statistic for continuous covariates. Association between each SNP and two outcomes, CAD and MI, was measured by comparing genotype frequencies between controls and all CAD cases and the subset of cases with MI. Significance was determined using a continuity-adjusted chi-square or Fisher's exact test for each genotype compared to the homozygotes wild-type for that locus. Odds ratios were calculated and presented with 95% confidence intervals.

[0307] Genotype groups were pooled for subsequence analysis of the top loci. Pooling allows the best model for each locus (dominant, codominant, or recessive) to be tested. Models were chosen based on significant differences between genotypes within a locus. A recessive model was chosen when the homozygous variant differed significantly from both the heterozygous and homozygous wildtype, and the latter two did not differ from each other. A codominant model was chosen when homozygous variant genotypes differed from both heterozygous and homozygous wild-type, and the latter two differed significantly from each other. A dominant model was chosen when no significant difference was observed between heterozygous and homozygous variant genotypes.

[0308] Multivariate logistic regression was used to adjust for sex, presence of hypertension, diabetes, and body mass index using the LOGISTC procedure in SAS. Height and weight, measured at the time of enrollment, were used to calculate body mass index for each subject. Presence of hypertension and non-insulin-dependent diabetes was measures by self-report (controls) and medical record confirmation (cases).

Results: Identified SNPs and Associations with Vascular Disease THBS2

[0309] Two SNPs in the THBS2 gene were identified and found to be associated with vascular disease, e.g., CAD and MI. The first THBS2 SNP, referred to herein as G5755e5, is a change from the thymidine (T) to a guanine (G) in the THBS2 gene at residue 3949 of the reference sequence GI 307505. The second THBS2 SNP, referred to herein as G5755e9, is a change from a thymidine (T) to a cytidine (C) in the THBS2 gene at residue 4476 of the reference sequence GI 307505. These SNPs are located within the 3′ untranslated region of the THBS2 gene. Therefore, they do not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the THBS2 protein (see Table 1, below). TABLE 1 8 Genbank 3 4 5 Accession 9 10 1 2 variant Type of Geno- 6 7 No./nt Flanking SEQ ID Gene PolyID freq. var. types Ref.

[0310] The variant allele, G, of the THBS2 SNP G5755e5, was previously shown to be associated with vascular disease, e.g., MI and CAD. Individuals homozygous for the variant allele (GG) were at greater than 2-fold decreased odds of having vascular disease. Homozygous carriers of the variant allele of the G5755e9 SNP (CC) also showed a ˜3-fold decreased odds of vascular disease. These two SNPs, G5755e5 and G5755e9, are in significant negative linkage disequilibrium with each other (D′=0.49 (−), p=0.04). The two SNPs together reveal distinct patterns of risk. Pattern 1 comprises two copies of the variant allele of G5755e9 (CC) in combination with two copies of the reference allele of G5755e5 (TT). Pattern 2 comprises two copies of the reference allele of G5755e9 (TT) and two copies of the variant allele of G5755e5 (GG) (see Table 2, below). Patterns 1 and 2 may independently influence risk of CAD. Individuals who have pattern 1 or pattern 2 are at ˜3-fold decreased odds of vascular disease (odds ratio=0.32, p=0.001) (see Table 3, below).

ACE

[0312] A SNP in the ACE gene, identified herein as G765u2, has been identified which is also associated with a decreased risk of vascular disease, e.g., MI and CAD. The G765u2 SNP is a change from an adenine (A) to a guanine (G) at nucleotide residue 86408 of the ACE reference sequence GI 13027555. This SNP is a “silent” variant. That is, it does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the ACE protein (see Table 4, below). Individuals with one copy of an A (the reference allele) and one copy of a G (the variant allele) at nucleotide residue 86408 of the ACE reference sequence GI 13027555 (AG genotype) are at a decreased risk for CAD and/or MI (CAD odds ratio:0.71; MI odds ratio:.66) (see Table 5, below).

[0313] An insertion/deletion polymorphism in the ACE gene was previously associated with vascular disease, e.g., associated with a decreased risk for MI. The G765u2 SNP may be found to be in linkage disequilibrium with the previously identified insertion/deletion polymorphism. If these two polymorphisms are in linkage disequilibrium (LD), the G765u2 SNP would act as a marker for the insertion/deletion polymorphism. Regardless of LD between these two polymorphisms, the G765u2 SNP represents a novel association with vascular disease.

FGB

[0315] Two SNPs in the FGB gene, identified herein as FGBu1 and FGBu4, have been identified which are associated with decreased risk of vascular disease, e.g., CAD and/or MI. The first SNP, FGBu1, is a change from a cytidine (C) to a thymidine (T) at nucleotide residue 5118 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597. This SNP is a silent variant. The second SNP, FGBu4, is a change from a guanine (G) to an adenine (A) at nucleotide residue 8059 in the reference sequence GI 182597. This polymorphism is a missense variation which results in a change from an arginine (R) to a lysine (K) in the amino acid sequence of FGB (SEQ ID NO:6) at amino acid residue 478 (see Table 6, below).

[0316] For the FGBu1 SNP, individuals with two copies of a T (the variant allele) at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597 are at a decreased risk for CAD and MI (CAD odds ratio: 0.28; MI odds ratio: 0.43). Individuals with one copy of a T and one copy of a C (the reference allele) at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597 are also at a decreased risk for CAD and MI (CAD odds ratio: 0.66; MI odds ratio: 0.72) (see Table 7, below).

[0317] For the FGBu4 SNP, individuals with two copies of an A (the variant allele) at nucleotide residue 8059 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597 are at a decreased risk for CAD and MI (CAD odds ratio: 0.28; MI odds ratio: 0.43). Individuals with one copy of an A and one copy of a G (the reference allele) at nucleotide residue 5119 of the FGB reference sequence GI 182597 are also at a decreased risk for CAD and MI (CAD odds ratio: 0.61; MI odds ratio: 0.66) (see Table 7).

[0318] Two variants in the promoter region of the FGB gene at nucleotide residues −455 and −655, have been previously associated with vascular disease, e.g., CAD and MI. The FGBu1 and FGBu4 SNPs may be found to be in linkage disequilibrium with these two previously identified SNPs. If these four SNPs are in linkage disequilibrium (LD), the FGBu1 and FGBu4 SNPs would act as markers for the previously identified SNPs. Regardless of LD, the FGBu1 and FGBu4 SNPs represent novel associations with vascular disease.
